Oh -you poor thing. I just went through that myself.
I tried many things. Dissolve an aspirin in about a tablespoon of water and dab that on the lesions. I felt like that gave some relief. Cool gel packs or a cool compress helps also. Probably more than anything else.
Drugs help – like pain killers.
I tried the Zostrix cream. The doctor didn’t give me instructions on how to use that, so I put it on next to the lesion. As soon as I rubbed the lesion, I transferred the Zostrix cream on to the lesion by mistake. It burned like hell – like squirting jalepeno juice in your eye or something. I was sure it was going to kill me, the pain was horrible. But, when that pain wore off – the shingles didn’t hurt nearly as bad from that point on. I don’t know if it was worth it. I don’t know how long the pain would have lasted if I had not done that, but it really did stop the majority of the pain. That was about 1 week after the breakout started.
I am currently using the Zostrix cream so I don’t get post herpetic neuralgia – lingering pain that can last for months/years after the shingles.
Now it has been 3 1/2 weeks since it first started and I still have some pain but the lesions are healing. Mine broke out on my neck, chest, ear and chin. I started using Mederma to prevent scarring after about 10 days – I think it really helped clear away the scabs and make it heal faster. I scar real bad because I am fair skinned. The stuff looked (and felt) like acid burns.
Also, it seemed to help when I took B vitamins – they are suppose to be good for your nerves.
I wish you the best of luck with this. You have all my sympathy.

A zinc strip attached at the peak. Spray with bleach to remove what’s there already. Trim trees to eliminate shade, which will allow it to return.
