I am so glad I decided to go to the dermatologist today. I have been itching for a long time and decided to go ahead and go back to her and thought I'll mention to her the bumps behind my ear and have her look at them. Turns out I have shingles. Just the one little cluster of them but it is quite painful and so she gave me some meds for the pain and some meds to get rid of them. She said not to be too surprised if they pop up somewhere else on my body. My Grandma had them several years ago and I remember how she said they were painful and now I can relate.
