Herpes Zoster
My mother was diagnosed with Herpes Zoster in her right shoulder and arm pit on 17Mar2020 and completed her medication as advised by doctor (attached prescription) but couldn't revisit the Dr due to national lock down. All of the scars are gone but she is feeling burning sensation and pain (no itching) in the right upper part if the breast. Please advice if this is normal and we wait for pain to subside slowly or undergo medication.
