Is hydrogen peroxide, good to put on rash from shingles?

Too drying, may cause more itching. try some 1% hydrocortisone cream. Should have Rx. for prednisone and Valcyclovir

Not a good idea as it might exacerbate the pain/rash with no effect on the actual cause, eventually delaying healing. Talk to your doc about treating properly your condition.
