A member asked:

This is unusual.: The natural history of the rash of herpes zoster (shingles) does not last 2 months with or without antivirals and the description of the rash doesn't sound like persistent shingles. Need a better description of the rash or even a picture.

Get a 2nd opinion: You need another opinion. The rash you describe may not be shingles.
