Shingles without pain?

busdriver… if I have to call and reschedule my semi-annual check-up with him, within a few weeks of the appt., it’s almost always another 2-3 months before I can get in for a routine appt.

That’s why he told me if I get another flare up, to call and let his office know that he wants to see me right away, as opposed to two or three days, when the spots will already have started to scab over. It was just a fluke that this came up a week and a half before my already scheduled semi-annual appt. When I leave his office after each visit, I schedule my next appt. for six months… like the dentist. If I don’t do it, I will inevitably forget or put it off. I’ve probably been seeing this guy for over ten years, and he is a highly-respected melanoma diagnostician in our area. In fact, other dermatologists often send their biopsies to him for difficult cases.
