Q
: I talked to you a few days ago. I had shingles in the left side of my face including ear and down to shoulder. The rash has gone (it was on my face in front of my ear) but the pain is very very bad. I feel it in and around my ear. Is there something for this horrific pain. I twitch all over when the pain is at its worst. Can you help me. Thank you

Q
: I think I may have shingles, but I am unsure. I have a scar from having a cesearn section, years ago and I have broken out on that where the skin folds over it. The only thing is it itches like crazy, and really does not hurt, just kind of burns a little. I have been using a staroid cream I had for hives, and that helps until I get to a Dr. My question is, with out the pain you talk about, could this be shingles? I have had it about a week.

Q
: I have had shingles for about 5 days. (I've gone to the doctor and am taking Valtrex and Gabapentin.) I'm curious about two elements. First, does sun exposure aggrevate the rash/blisters? Second, does outdoor activities such as golf or watching a football game in the stadium effect the rash/blisters? Thank you for the very helpful website! And, thank you in advance for your response.

Q
: Thank you for your response. Sorry I failed to mention where my rash is. I have it starting on my chin, traveling down my neck and behind my ear and back to the base of my spine. I figure I can cover my neck area by turning up the collar on a golf shirt. I'm not too sure about the chin area, but, am thinking about wearing a large brimmed hat. After reading most of your website and responses to individuals' question, I didn't think I could give anyone chicken pox (and, I know, it would be someone who hadn't already had chicken pox), unless they came in contact with the fluid from my blisters. I don't intend to touch anyone at the golf tournament or the football game. Is it still unsafe for me to attend the events since the virus cannot be contracted via airborne particles? And, additional question, too, please... does heat, like 95 degree weather, effect the rash? Thanks so much, again. If it matters, I'm a 46 year old female.
