Uugh, I hate shingles! I first had them at age 33. They were under my hair in the back of head on the left sisde. It was horrible, scabs and all kinds of ickies. I then had them again 7 years later, on the right side of my face and neck. Burning and itching and red as a lobster!!! The steroid cream helped alot. It did take several months for mine to clear up

I hope you feel better soon!!!
