So, my case might not have been as intense as others. I didn't have it inside of my eye, but it was a whole half of me. And in that case, I went into the doctor's. I've had it twice. I had it twice before I turned like 38 or something. I went to the doctor's and got Valtrex on like a really high scale. Let's see, is this the one? It was Valacyclo... Cyclovir... Go into the doctor's and they will tell you what to use. But the truth is, is you want to get into the doctor's quickly because you can stop the like growth of the shingles because it starts in like one area and then it keeps expanding until you stop that. So, get into a doctor, get the proper meds and take care of it because you don't... It's no fun. Just stop.
