Some really fancy shingles require more - there are a couple GAF Designer Series shingles that are six to the square, and they used to offer one that was seven to the square.

The neosporin appeared to inflame my shingles, making them worse. He told me to clean with a very gentle soap like Ivory soap, and use Calamine lotion. I also bought Aloe and a diaper rash cream as suggested on-line. My shingles are on my neck, collarbone, scalp, jaw and cheek, and shingles can leave scars, so I am trying several things.
