I Have Had Shingles Now For A Week And Have

I have had shingles now for a week and have been on Acyclovir 800 mg. My rash is now scabbing and not really painful, just irratating. I have my own tanning bed in my home. If I cover the affected area would it make the shingles worse to tan for a few minutes?
