Do we want to keep shingles lesions dry or moist to encourage crusting over?

is this for homework? What has your research revealed to you?
If you can't help answer the question or ask a question in effort of helping to answer my question, I suggest you don't post a reply. Thank you

Welcome to allnurses.com. A great place for students to come and ask our knowledgeable members for assistance.
We ask of members who post for homework questions to give what they've come up with so far. We do not mind helping, but will not do the homework for you.
So, if you can give us what you've come up with so far, we can add to it and help you.
I'm sorry you were offended for that is never my intention. I spend a phenomenal amount of time in the students forums helping the students.

Esme's "What has your research revealed to you?" is a question that should at least give you a hint about what to do (besides asking someone else to do it for you).

Seriously, you've only posted 3 times and you're making suggestions to veterans? Goodness.
Anyway, you don't have a text book that gives you very specific nursing management of shingles? Seeing as how I've only had chicken pox which come from the same virus, I remember it being particularly soothing to have wet compresses on the really painful, itchy lesions. That might give you a clue as to where to start. Also, Medscape is incredibly helpful for patho and Tx.

Kiddo, you have a lot to learn. One is that one shouldn't be snarky with people who can help lead you to a correct answer. Be respectful...it will get you more. Or be prepared to be eaten alive on the clinical floor.

Judging by this and your responses on your other thread, you've got a lot to learn about how the world of nursing works and a bit about interpersonal communication. Hint: no one will be spoon feeding you answers in the real world; why should we be doing it now? Instead of posting a random question, show us what you've already researched and what parts of that you don't understand. One cannot go on to become a good nurse if one cannot research questions on their own and provide what they've found and of what they need further clarification.
Happy wife you're rhetorical question is creative!
