    Hi there - have you just been diagnosed? only usually its a rash which turn to lumps which then turn to blisters - these break and scab over and leave a red scar behind which fades with time - hope this helps - Good Luck and I hope you are better soon.

    Hi Woody

    ​I had a patch that was very close to where the rash was, it was about an inch away.  There was a tender lump surrounded by little pimple type things...  they never opened or oozed, but they were there for about 10 days and then went away.  it was about  5 or 6 months after the first rash.  How long has it been since you had shingles

    Hi Woodys

    Shingles has a habit of trying to return, and one way is the very irritating pimples. These turn into boils and full blown Shingles unless treated urgently.

    Aciclovir anti-viral Cream copes with these extremely well.

    Rub the cream into each pimple vigorously for 10 seconds, twice a day, and they will disappear within two weeks.

    Kind Regards, Ray.
