I had chickenpox as a girl.

30 years later I had shingles in my eyebrow near the top of the nose. I guessed what it was and took some homeopathic Rhus Tox while I waited to get to my homeopath, who gave me Herpes zoster remedy. It was all over in a week or two, which was great because it can be nasty so near the eye. It recurred slightly once a year for a few years, when a little soft scab would appear; if I scratched it away it would bleed. Then it didn't happen any more.

All the best

Even though many who have had chicken pox do not get shingles, that is not because of having had chicken pox. I think of Shingles as adult chicken pox, but those who get it, would not get it if they had not had chicken pox
