The best thing for shingles is to get the antiviral medicine within 1-2 days of onset from your GP. If that didn't happen, it has a tendancy to run it's full course and spread over the dermotomes that it is going to affect - hope it wasn't the face as that can be most painful. Spraying CS on the blisters after cleansing and doing the soaks with the recommended Burrow's solution, will help to fight infection even to the extent that dressings may not be necessary. CS sometimes stings the wounds as it is slightly astringent. Calamine lotion would still be necessary for the itch. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 10:56 PM Subject: Re: CS>shingles
