    Shingles hide in a nerve and come out as a blister like thing so if its shingles the things won't be random over your face...more like in a line kind of thing.
    Once the blisters turn into scab like things the contagious period is over and it can't be treated with antibiotics after that time. Shingles are very painful so definatly get to the docs for some pain relief.
    Hope things get better for you soon luv

    Had after hours dr out because the pain in just crazy. He seems to think it is shingles but because it wasn't treated within the 72 hours thats reccomended it's going to be a little more difficult to treat. I have to go first thing in the morning to have a fluid test done on it. I've got an icepack on it now trying to soothe it a little bit... it's in a patch on my face near my chin, about the size of 2 50c pieces side by side. bright red and bloody painful!
