Could This Be a Case of Shingles Post Breast Reduction? (photo)

kimC312
My wound is still continuing to worsen. It has slowed down but still getting larger. I visited my ps yesterday and he still has no idea what is wrong with me. He said it could possible be shingles since I had chicken pox as a child. He has stopped the bactroban use and started me on acedic acid use twice a day and prescribed Valtrex for shingles. Is this even possible? I thought shingles were blisters. I don't have blisters, I just have absolutely NO SKIN at all. Thoughts??
