What will work for pain/itch relief of shingles?

I was diagnosed with shingles last Wednesday and the doctor prescribed me Famvir and Lortab 7.5. I want to stop taking the Lortab because it’s making me constipated, but Tylenol isn’t going to do the trick. I’m allergic to ibuprofen and aspirin too, which really limits my options. The doctor told me not to put anything on the blisters.
So is there anything else that I could try for pain relief? They just started itching this morning (which is almost worse than the burning pain in my opinion.)
Oh, and my doctor is out of town and the doctor covering for him is terrible (bad experiences before with him) so I can’t exactly call asking for a different pain reliever.
Thanks for any advice/suggestions in advance!
