I think @bunnybear posted about the CBD oil. Here is the picture. She didn’t take the picture of the front label.

Unfortunately, once you have had shingles, and especially if you didn’t take an anti viral medication like Valtrex (very important to start within 72 hours of onset), the after effects of shingles can last indefinitely. I have terribly itchy skin and nothing works to relieve it too, so I can only guess it’s because I had shingles a few years ago. I have this permanent itch despite having taken Valtrex within 72 hours both times.

I started the Valtrex w/n 72 hours of initial symptoms, and early diagnosis even before my face would full-on explode in redness and swelling; very few 'blisters'; I also had it IN my eye, so that an ophthalmologist prescribed an antibiotic ointment to put IN my eye; the worse sores -- the few I got -- were all in my mouth (upper gum-line on R side of face. It has been brutal since October 17th. And here I am, a month later, and the 'creepy-crawling'/itchy skin is driving me NUTS! I alternate with liberally applying Aspercreme & Lidocaine gel to my face; Rescue Remedy to 'calm' my skin, and CBD oil (probably long-expired); it never worked as a sleep aid for me; and I put that on my skin at bedtime. Still on Valtrex (reissued); been on Gabapentin from the beginning; and I can't go outside. Daylight. makes my skin itch and crawl even worse! :'(
