Post shingles, skin problems

Hi, after a bout of facial shingles mid summer, i still have spots and sores where the original rash was. It is rather itchy and the skin has a leathery texture. Anyone else experienced this?

    Where my shingles were on my forehead are itchy, and then you may scratch or rub them and they burn. But they do not have a leathery texture to them. Where my shingles were is more like a bumpy scar, but not leathery. It may just be your skin type though. I moisturize my face daily and that helps. I had the shingles in October.
