Shingles: near eyes is something you have to be VERY careful about. Please see your doctor ASAP if you have not seen one. He/she will help keep you and your eyes safe. Consider seeing a nutritionist to help boost your immune system after that. Peace and good health.

Shingles: Shingles in the eyes requires PROMPT medical treatment. Forget the calamine & seek medical assessment.
