Hello

Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com

I can understand your concern.

This does seem to be shingles. Since you took valtrex early in the course of the disease probably you didn't get a crop of blisters but if you observe closely you will be able to appreciate a couple of blisters on the red patch. I would recommend that you complete the course of 5 to 7 days of valtrex as recommended by your doctor.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care
Regards.
