I have post-herpetic neuralgia/trigeminal nerve damage. Scalp/forehead/eye/side of nose shingles 12 years ago. Intense itching around eye/scalp mostly at night. My routine helps a lot, but sometimes itching is unbearable & my eye is often inflamed/itching. I've taken gabapentin twice daily for 11 years and used ice packs to sleep at night. I use a compound cream daily on eyelid. I also take Hydroxyzine HCL at night for intense itching. The entire area is still irritated after 12 years. In spite of everything, I have to be extremely careful to not touch area where the blisters were because it will "set off" intensive Crazy itching. All of my drugs were prescribed by my neurologist except the compound cream. That I got from an anesthesiologist/pain specialist. If you'd like the cream ingredients & dosages, let me know.
