I was infected by Chicken Pox when I was 13 and at 21 I got Shingles I developed a red circular patch of 2 cm diameter on the forehead near the right temple. I could sense some difference in the sensation but did not care about that. One day I got fever 101 and the temperature remained. Slowly small red dots have formed over the patch and they became white the next day. The white is pus. One would feel burning and pricking feeling if you press the patch with your finger. Otherwise i did not have any pain. I used Acyclovir for 5 days and it reduced. As the virus dies, the skin becomes scales and when you take bath, the scales can be removed by rubbing with your finger or a cloth slowly. Make sure you decontaminate hands by washing them with proper soap. Once the scales are gone the skin is as it was before.
