A member asked:
Can i put 2.5% lidocaine & 2.5% prilocaine on my shingles to help with the pain? the tube comes that way as described above?

Although that could help some, please check in with your doctor. Antiviral oral medications and oral medications for discomfort can work faster and bring faster and longer term relief for this what I am guessing a very uncomfortable situation. Telemedicine can get this relief in your hands very quickly.
