I was suffering from shingles/herpes zoster few weeks back after taking medicines there are no blisters now but I am experiencing extreme pain, burning and itching on the affected part of my body. Recently while browsing I came across a treatment to reduce the pain temporarily which is called lidocaine patch. I want to know whether I can use this and how it should be used. Please help out I am in very much pain.
