Anyone had these? I'm doing a little research cuz I think I may have a patch on my back. I read that they could appear following emotional stress (ding-ding). Apparently they will heal on their own but I don't know if this rash is on the way up or on the way out.
Try this site. Maybe you can go into the doc and tell him what you need. I always find it helps to know going in what to ask for. Except for my ankle they can't figure that one out. I might be getting an MRI on it. http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/shingles/shingles-treatment-overview
Yes, I have it and I went to Doc in a Box and got prescribed some Valtrex (yes, Nursey, the same thing you use to treat your genital warts). It is painful but not searing. At least I'm in the Herpes club, now so my extramarital options are wide-open.
The shingles have mostly subsided but every now and then they tingle like some sort of perverse "Spidey-Sense" whenever I feel stress (or when there is an injustice being committed nearby). Anyway, I have a preseciption for 5 more months of this Valtrex in case I hook up with any skanks with cold sores.
