Suggest Treatment For Rashes On The Back After Taking Shingles Vaccine
I got the shingles vaccine last year because I am age 54. Doctor recommended it because I had chick pox as a child. I have a crusty rash on my back with no pain but itching. Should I go to the doctor or can I just take some OTC remedy and ride it out?

you should better consult a doctor. it may be due some side effects of vaccine. otherwise take levocetrizine 5mg once daily for 10 days and see if it improves.
