Male 41 years old: Sensitive to touch scalp skin, top left side of head but noticed that the left side of my face is more sensitive to touch, very slight discomfort left eye, very very slight discomfort left ear, no visible surface skin condition. Had 2 days of bad headache 5-6 days before the start of symptoms. Returned from business trip abroad by air (10 hours flight) just before this started.
In general area affected is top left side of my head more towards the front. It is more of a discomfort than a serious affliction, but enough to feel its presence. It is not growing but it is there for the last 3 days. I am in good health and do not take any medicines.
I saw an answer to a similar question at the dermatology forum but I do not have any blisters...: I also thought it was funny have this mentioned about antibiotic (an not antiviral treatment since I thought zoster was caused by a virus)
""The only medical condition I can think of which would give these symptoms is zoster ("shingles.) If that's what it is, blisters will appear in the affected area in 1-3 more days. Should that happen, please see a doctor for antibiotic treatment.""
