over a year later, I still have a sizable scab cluster from shingles on my back. a doctor visit a couple weeks ago I asked about it... She said go and get the vaccine. They can come back. no words at all to my question, how much longer will this scab remain/how do I get rid of it!?? (itches constantaly!!)
Any of you know how to get rid of it??
Have you been to a dermatologist? Cryotherapy is sometimes an option to “calm things down”, administered at a lower intensity than when used to remove moles, etc. And, of course, hydrocortisone in the meantime. And select a hydrocortisone lotion that includes various “natural” anti-pruritic ingredients. And for really acute itching you can try to numb it with pramoxine. dibucaine, or lidocaine. But don’t overdue the “caines” — you can end up with “reverse-numbing” or hypersensitization.
