    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.

      There is a thing called Pinetarsol which might be allowed. It helps itch, but fucking stinks so pick your annoyance I guess

        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.
