I just got over shingles in May and it was so severe. The pain was like someone was ironing my skin and inside of me was like being sliced by a blade. Blisters and lesions were many.
For the itch and pain I went to buy Westinghouse Infrared light 250W and the aluminum shade with ceramic socket from T&S farm supply - brooders section, less than $20. I heated the lesions for 20 minutes everyday. The itch greatly subsided then disappeared. I drank anti viral teas and added chapparal tinctures and Chinese star anise tincture (which I luckily made last March). Then "soup" was applied on the lesions and blisters which is made of 50-50 colloidal silver and Swedish bitters + 1 TBSP DMSO; while still wet, I put BORAX powder and covered it with pad and plaster so medications stay. Yup, that borax dried up the blisters quickly. Also, I cleaned the area with colloidal silver and let it dry. The lesions took a long time to dry up but we continued treating it. Also took Cimetidine/Tagamet so it does not affect my organs. When I took tagamet, the slicing feeling in my inside stopped immediately, specially the stomach. It took three weeks to heal. MD said it would take 1 month to a year to heal coz it has many lesions and because of my age. Also he told me to expect pains under the lesion scars and that this can be permanent. I now have pain, in the beginning from near the outbreak beside my spine all the way to the belly button. Like half a belt including hips. I took antiviral, used red laser, violet ray, and Rife frequencies using shingles and herpes zoster settings. It is now almost gone. I found out recently that Chinese star anise is anti bacterial, anti viral, and potent anti fungal and works very well for herpes and shingles is herpes zoster. Use only Chinese star anise, Japanese star anise is poisonous. Star anise was used mainly for cooking in Asia. All above methods were learned from advice of members from different yahoogroups. So I compiled them and passed on to you. Hope it helps.
