In the past i have had a thing that's called eczema herpeticum and it looks like shingles and i usually get it on my arms or stomach, its part of the herpes simplex family and to prevent any outbreaks i take L-Lysine capsules, which most vitamin companies make (like blackmores etc)... even if you do get an outbreak it isn't as severe and doesn't last as long as normal, and because its an amino acid its pretty safe to take during pregnancy instead of taking drugs for it.
Although, if i do get an outbreak, i still take my prescribed drug if/when i get an episode as well as taking L-Lysine, but i haven't had one for ages and i used to get it coming up every month!
