Do "Shingles" need any treatment or will they heal alone?
I think I have shingles, I was wondering wether to just try and ignore them or seek medical advice and treatment?

I am in my early twentys, I have had chicken pox when I was very young(5-8 years old), and recovered. I have a line of blisters on my left shoulder blade running perdendicular from my spine.
I have a "stinging" muscular pain in the blisters and my left pectoral. This sound like the right thing?
Answers:
They can heal alone but Valtrex will speed it along. You may also want to find out if there is an underlying cause .... it could be a weakened immune system.
