I got shingles of the eye, forehead and scalp in March of 2010. I also got the vacination 6 months later. I suffer terribly with pain of the scalp and itching.I really think the itching causes more pain than the residules of the actual shingles. I am allergic to Neurontin and break out in hives so that Rx is not an option. I have tried everything and can't stop itching. I am at the end of my patience. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.View Thread
