I have had shingles three times. Their is medicine you can take, and cream for your eye. I have had them twice on the eye and face and on my arm which has caused some nerve damage. Do not itch them, or rub them, as they can spread. I was told that once you have had shingles that the vaccine will not prevent you from getting them, it will make it so you do not get as many. What you need is rest and to relax. They are caused by someone having chicken pox, and also stress. See your Doctor asap.
