Default pain relief

when i had shingles (same place as buggyone, scalp, forehead ouch!) the dermatologist told me that dabbing the sores with listerine could relieve some of the itch and pain. i found it helped... best thing is to have valtrex on hand in case you ever get another breakout to take immediately while waiting for doctor.
