I have had shingles and it has left me with a terrible itch .What can I do to get rid of it ?

Try to take an oatmeal bath. The oatmeal soothes dry itchy skin. Use a food possessor to cut it up a little finer, but it's not necessary to. Put a couple cups in a warm-hot bath, add some warm milk if you want. Sit for at least 30 minutes. This works like a charm!
