My shingles is scabbing, but due to the location it keeps cracking open and weeping, and it's making me fucking miserable. Also, keeping the heating on to keep me warm while I can't really wear a shirt is making my skin awfully dry, which is making my other skin problems play up.
I just want it to be over, but I was warned it may be a long time before that happens... ughhhhhhhhhhh
Sorry for the whinge.
Would calamine lotion help or even paw paw ointment?
I was instructed not to do too much to them, I am allowed oatmeal baths though. It seems that it's a suck-it-up sort of thing once it starts to scab.
Oh no. I hope it's not gonna be a long one for you. All the best.
There is a thing called Pinetarsol which might be allowed. It helps itch, but fucking stinks so pick your annoyance I guess
Strangely enough I quite like the tar smell. Am I weird?
Probably 😺 I can drink Retsina but this wash is a bit much personally
I've been instructed to basically leave it alone, unfortunately, it's just me and the odd oatmeal bath.
On another note I will say that I like Pinetarsol, I use it every spring when my skin stuff gets out of control with allergies and whatnot.
