Acyclovir topical "I just want to mention that in my country, Zovirax costs something like $10 for 10g! I cannot believe how expensive it is in the US. That's insane."

"Had shingles as a kid and adult. In 2010, shingles popped out on the side of my face... bad news times 10. Acyclovir is the best, without it, well, I do not want to think about that!"
