Warren is 62 years old and recently had shingles—which he caught when his granddaughter had chickenpox. The pustules associated with shingles cleared up a week ago, but Warren is now experiencing pain that he describes as "burning and throbbing." The pain is in the area of the trigeminal nerve. The area is extremely sensitive to touch, which is a problem because it also itches—so the extreme
sensitivity makes it difficult to scratch the itch.
