Thank you for your response. My shingles started on 5/30/21, but I initially thought it was an irritation underneath my breast from a new for 2 days until the pain started. I have bought new softer no band 2 sizes larger bras & all cotton PJ’s & tops. The real problem is having had blisters on my breast, underneath & on flesh where the band area of a bra touches leaves me wearing a cotton undershirt w no support. I will try to find the sheepskin as previously recommended & see a dermatologist as you mentioned. Although, from what I’ve read on the Mayo Clinic site,I’ve already taken the antiviral meds on onset, used Calamine lotion, oatmeal soaks & now using an antiviral gel & have been prescribed the 3 meds recommended w the exception of a Pain Patch.

I'm glad that you will be making an appointment with a dermatologist. They have exceptional skills for dealing with skin problems of all types.

I certainly can empathize with anyone dealing with post-Shingles pain. Will you post again and let me know how you are doing?
