Why Haven't Rashes And Itching Reduced Despite Taking Zostrix Shot For Shingles?
I have had the zostrex shot for shingles, however, I have an inner itching all around my waist but no rash at all. Could I have gotten the Shingles despite the fact that I was inoculated. The itching has been going on for quite a while but I cannot see anything. Anti itch cream helps a bit.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are suffering from Post herpetic neuralgia. This is a complication of Shingles in which pain/itching lasts even after the healing of the rash. You can take Methylcobalamine and Pregabalin tablets along with Levocetrizine tablets.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
