How To Treat Black Patch On Feet Despite Using Acyclovir For Shingles In Right Feet?
Hi, i lost function of my right leg three weeks back. The doctors misdiagnosed me in the first two weeks and eventually diagnosed me with shingles on my right feet. I have been taking acyclover drug. I am now recovering but feeling pains in my feet from time to time. This morning i discovered a black patch on the back of my ankle just above the back sole of my feet. I am wondering if this dark patch is a sign of any other related symptoms. It is not paining but it just appeared out of no where. Please help explain if i should be worried or not? Thanks.

HI
Well come to HCM
In case of viral infection such pain is very common symptoms particularly in case of herpes infection some time pain could remains for long time even after eradication of infection, the black spot could be non specific one and just wait for some time and this would be fine soon without any medicines, hope this information helps, take care.
