I've been hesitant to take any baths because of the small possibility that it is a fungal infection. They told me that if it is, the moisture could make it worse or take longer to heal. I really do believe its shingles, especially with this new pain in the different area, but I dont want to take any chances.
I did try an off-brand calamine lotion-like thing I got at CVS. It didnt really seem to help any more than anything else. I also have perscription strength hydrocortisone cream and have been taking clairtin and benadryl. I've really loaded up lol. The benadryl seems to help more than anything. But the itching is starting to get better, thank goodness.
