Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

I'm using Colgate paste cream on my face along with my regular white cream, and now I'm noticing dark circles around my eyes. Are these creams causing this, and how long will it take for the dark circles to go away with medication or a cream? I'm thinking about consulting a doctor for this.

My mom is about 60 and has been diagnosed with Shingles. It all started with back pain last Sunday and within a week, red rashes appeared on her back. We initially assumed it was due to the hot weather, but our family doctor confirmed it's Shingles. She's been in a lot of pain and says it's burning. We're pretty worried about it. Should we consult a skin specialist for this? What should we do next?
