General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Herpes infection usually resolves within 3–5 weeks, but secondary bacterial infection and chronic pain due to post – herpetic neuralgia may occur.
Advice
1.     Amoxicillin 500 mg per oral every 8 hours for 3 days
2.     You can apply calamine lotion locally three times daily for 10 days. It will provide soothing effect
3.     Do not scratch if itching occurs
4.     Do not take mental stress as it aggravates shingles
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
Thanks
