Just been to see my doctor cos i got loads of pain in the right side of my face and turns out i got f$$cking shingles,great,and i feel shit aswell👎

Feel for you mate, I had it a few years ago but not on my face but my torso, with the right meds it didn't last too long... my only advice would be to resist any compulsion to scratch the blisters....difficult, I know 👍

Try to leave it alone, easier said than done. You have my sympathy.

I tried cold sore cream but can't say it seemed to do much.

This was at the advice of a pharmacist, not just something I tried on a whim.

First time I had it I had stuff from the doctor that did seem to help a bit. Mine lasted about a fortnight, my Dad has had it for a couple of years and counting! (not suggesting yours will last that long)

Calamine lotion might help with the itch as well
