shingles follow a nerve, so they will ussually be all in a line or group. they look like a cluster of blisters, and they itch, if you itch them then they burn, they will start to cause alot of pain the longer you have them. If you have had them for a while it is probably to late for antiviral meds, so you will have to let them run their course. It is a virus, (chicken pox) so it will take time to heal, I belive 7-10 days.
