How To Treat Itchy Spots On The Body Caused Due To Shingles?
I had shingles about two years ago and have had no issues until yesterday. I had spots on all my body. I am trying to keep the itching from driving me crazy. My understanding is that there is not cure, just symptom maintenance. Is this true and what do you suggest? Bobbie

Hello,

If symptoms persists you can consult a physician and get evaluated.
