There is an alternative theraoy for shingles! My husband had them recently. At a health store he found company that makes an energized product from water and alcohol (grain alcohol I think) the water mixture is energized to a certain frequency that the shingles responds to. He was better in 2 days. The company is Vibropathic. and the website on the bottle is http://www.hannasherbshop.com
As for the bleeding, if the blood is very fresh then it is most likely hemmoroids.
