The treatment for shingles is one that is said to be symptomatic if it has been more than 72 hours since the small pimples appeared. If instead the pimples have appeared for a short time, an antiviral medication may be prescribed that will reduce pain, reduce the risk of scarring, reduce the duration of symptoms, and reduce the risk of having residual pain after the infection has ended.
How long have you had symptoms and where are your pimples located?
