Have had shingles for past three weeks on left back/side, abdomen. Now both arms, both leg, chest are itchy/tingly. Took bath in oatmeal scrub, but hasn t helped. Took two Benadryl. Do you think this is related to shingles, or possibly something else altogether?
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that it seems to be related with herpes simplex. I suggest you to continue the medication provided to you with shingles. If it won't respond to you, please change it to with other anti-viral Chat Doctor.  Take vitamin B12 and B complex, cetirizine, and paracetamol as and when required. Apply calamine lotion as and when required. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
