herpes zoste
"On Wednesday I noticed I had swollen lymph nodes in my neck and a spot on my eyebrow that was red and sore.  On Saturday I went to see a doctor and he immediately recognized it as shingles and got me started on famciclovir and 600mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours.  I took both medications religiously (shingles is nothing to mess around with).  Over the next 3 days the spot on my eyebrow blistered and then scabbed over, my eye swelled up, and I started to develop another spot on my forehead.  On day 4 the swelling was noticeably reduced and was completely gone by day 6.  The second place on my forehead never blistered or scabbed over. I didn't experience any side effects.  Worked great for me (29 yr old female)."
