I came down with shingles the end of March. Most scabs are gone, but left with scarring. I had the blistering rash from my spine to my naval on my left side. I am now experiencing the burning sensation where scars are. The pain is also in areas, past the scarring, where there was nothing (past my naval and past my spine). I m left with quite a bit of numbness and burning in these areas after two months. Is there anything that can be done to heal the numbness and burning sensation? I m also a little concerned that this illness has lastedso long. Is this an uncommon occurrence?
