[|Human|] I am a 44 year old women with psoriatic arthritus and had shingles 3 years ago.  Since I had shingles, I am always getting folliculitus all over my body.  Small, very itchy, red bumps.  I will itch until they finally scab up.  My dermatologist has not been able to help get rid of them.  They are getting worse and can be anywhere from my foot to my face.

I am not understanding as shingles are persisting for 3 year as it is a viral infection and usually cured itself within 2-3 weeks of time .you need to give me detail of your lesion you are suspecting as shingles. As I understand you are getting secondary infection by bacteria and you don't need to worry just undergo some investigation and follow my instruction, will give you great relief.1. First go for culture and sensitivity examination for your discharge from follicle to microbiology lab, to know bacterial cause of infection and its sensitive antibiotic.2.maintain hogan and cleanliness of skin .3.take regular bath.review me after investigation report and detail of your complaint then I will suggest you complete treatment for cure of your infection.
