I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If you forget a dose of aciclovir, take it (or use the cream or eye ointment) as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for your next dose. In this case, just skip the missed dose and continue with your next one at the usual time. Never have 2 doses at the same time.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.

Expected duration. Shingles usually takes 7 to 10 days to run its course, although blisters may take several weeks to disappear completely. Within 4 weeks, the appearance of your skin most likely will return to normal. Some people are left with dark spots on the skin in the area of the original rash.

Burns, such as from the sun, heat, radiation and chemicals, are common causes of skin pain. Other injuries, such as bruises, lacerations or abrasions, commonly result in skin pain. Circulation problems that impair blood flow to the skin lead to painful skin.

Most boils are caused by a germ (staphylococcal bacteria). This germ enters the body through tiny nicks or cuts in the skin or can travel down the hair to the follicle. These health problems make people more susceptible to skin infections: diabetes.

The pain from shingles is likely to last for a long time and sometimes forever in life and you need painkillers when it is severe the pain of shingles can be excruciating, but the condition goes away in a few weeks -- for most people. This is called postherpetic neuralgia (phn), a form of neuropathic pain that can last for months or years, even after the virus is no longer active.
