| Pamela, 
 I feel your pain.  I am just getting over a 2 week battle.  If you are not on enough medication.. your body can take up to a month to get rid of it.  I was 75% covered with a secondary infection, and swollen Lymph glands it was so bad.
 
 I was put on a weeks dosage by one doc, I went to a dermatologist, and was put on a stronger two weeks dosage, and I demanded I the shot.
 
 Stay out of the sun.  Its not good for healing sking, and heat will make you insanely itchy.
 
 Get to the doc for more meds.  Doesnt sound like a weeks worth is gonna do ya good.  You start tapering off that week pack pretty heavy after day 4.
 
 Good Luck.
 
 Kurt L.I.
