Boo. Did they give you antivirals? Motrin helped with the pain from mine. Also ice packs!

Ugh that stinks. Hopefully they gave you an antiviral. Mine cleared up fairly quickly once I started meds.

And here I thought you'd stand with me in skin issue solidarity.
Lol.
The pain isn't terrible, I'm lucky, it could be a lot worse. And I did get an antiviral.

I had shingles a couple years ago that I thought was poison ivy at first too. Not fun! I hope you don't have a severe case of it. If you didn't get some cream, ask your Dr for the strong stuff, it helps with the itching. Ice packs too!

I am 32 and got a chicken pox vaccine at 16. Imagine my surprise when at 22 what I thought were chigger bites turned out to be chicken pox.
OP I hope you feel better soon.
