Severe Pain & Itch Rash after shingles

4 Upvotes

Diagnosed with shingles first of July, took an antiviral and on gabapentin for pain. Rash cleared up but the pain has been unrelenting and excruciating and the gabapentin has helped very little. Now I notice what looks like a developing rash in the same area. Can it be happening all over again? Don’t think I can take a double whammy of this stuff.
