Our 6 year old son had burned his chest and stomach area. The burn had healed well, but then he developed shingles in the affected area. We live in a remote area and had already made the trip to town for diagnosis. Whatever was prescribed was not helping our son at all. It was desperation that made me grab the Topsyn that had worked so well on our other son's poison ivy outbreak. Not only did...

Our 6 year old son had burned his chest and stomach area. The burn had healed well, but then he developed shingles in the affected area. We live in a remote area and had already made the trip to town for diagnosis. Whatever was prescribed was not helping our son at all. It was desperation that made me grab the Topsyn that had worked so well on our other son's poison ivy outbreak. Not only did our young son find immediate relief, the shingles were gone within a few days and NEVER returned. I am aware of two other instances in which the same results were achieved on cases of shingles. One case was my dad, who had suffered with the condition for over a year before I learned he had it. I insisted that he use the Topsyn. He was so glad he did. The other instance was the son of a good friend. This young man had shingles appear on his face shortly before he was scheduled for his Senior graduation pictures to be taken. They were desperate, used the Topsyn, had the rash disappear, and it never returned. I have mentioned this to various doctors through the years, but have always been the recipient of a rather disinterested response. Whatever can be done to promote this use of Topsyn would be appreciated by so many sufferers of Shingles. Please get the word out!Read More Read Less
