Eleven days ago, while at the dr. s office, he froze some beneign, pre-cancerous spots off my forehead. One was on top of my one eyebrow, right along the brow s edge, slightly among the hairs. I had no problems until 5 days ago, when the rash was driving me crazy with itching. The area also burned . I was putting vaseline on it all per dr. instructions. Three mornings ago I began waking up w/my eye almost swollen shut each day. As the day wears on the swelling disipates. Today I saw the dr. and was diagnosed w/possible Shingles or infection or both. I am taking, as of today, the medicines for both. However, the itching is driving me crazy! I try not to scratch but place my finger on the spot & push hard or rub gently. Is something like soda a solution to put on it to stop the itching or another household item?
