Just out of nowhere on one patch on one side of neck? That would be weird, unless there already was a history of precancerous or cancerous lesions there.

There is a very effective antiviral that shortens the duration and severity.
That sounds like a vaccine!

Isn't the shingles vaccine supposed to help prevent dementia?
Yes. Not sure when it became a “thing,” but probably too late for the boomer generation. Don’t think any of my parent have had the vaccine. (I’ve got a ton of dementia on one side of my family, so been hoping hard that the shingles vaccine will be the one small trick that makes the difference for my generation and beyond!)

I wouldn't call it a gash. Looks like maybe a scabbed-over part of a shingles outbreak.

Not sure what gash you see? Do you mean the deep wrinkles? Or the scabby shingles-like rash?
