A member asked:
Shingles rash fading. areas of numbness,,at times painful and pinching feeling and itching on side and stomach where rash is. will these subside?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you are in significant distress, a prescription for 5% doxepin cream will stop the pain. You forgot to include the most important thing: when did the shingles first appear? The skin will heal in about a month, faster if treated correctly. The burning neuropathic pain may persist long after the skin heals.
