What can i do if i have shingles on the face (and impetigo)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated shingles: Shingles complicated by a bacterial infection such as impetigo would benefit from a combination of prescription medications. Pain management and avoidance of touching it as much as possible are preventative measures to take while you are waiting for evaluation. Use new facial towels daily and wash them in very hot water!
