Calamine Lotion
While lotions and cream can do superb jobs to relieve pain and increase comfort levels, they may worsen the conditions by keeping the rash from drying out quickly. Antibiotics also have a similar effect on shingles rash and should be avoided. Instead, you should opt for calamine lotion (or any cream or lotion with capsaicin as an ingredient). Calamine lotion smoothens the skin, soothes it and helps the blisters heal faster. [1]
