Thanks for the responses. I did go ot the Dr but didn't go in soon enough and was too late for the antivirals. The Dr didnt seem to be very concerned and acted kind of like I was wasting his time since I was late coming in and didn't want any pain meds. I've developed 2 more areas since then but they are small and don't hurt as much as the initial one (that wasn't as bad as some neuropathy pain I've had though ).

The secondary things are what I was worried about. I did have a fever but that is gone now, lesions are red and nasty looking (A pox on it!) but not hot and don't seem to be infected. My eyes have been huting a little which is scarey but don't know what to do about it besides wait to see if anything developes.

thanks,
