I have had a case of shingles. Just right afterwards (shingles had not gone completely away) I developed more rash and itching (a lot of itching!) from the sight of the shingles  on, and to now covering much of my body. A lot of the area even look like whelps. Ive been to the doctor at least 4 times. Then to a dermatologist. The last time I was given a prescription of Triamcinolone. Its been about a week. I have had no relief. HELP! It is becoming unbearable.
Hello, Thanks for the query. Shingles involves the nerves and hence causes pain. Itch is uncommon but can occur in shingles. Another possibility is that you might have developed a contact allergy to any of medication applied for shingles. A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis. You might need treatment with oral steroids. Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this. Let me know if you have any other doubt. You can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.https
