Inclusion criteria

✓. Subject is a male or female ≥ 18 years of age and ≤ 85 years of age.
✓. Subject has brush-evoked allodynic pain intensity score ≥ 4 using the NPRS as determined by pain assessment during the physical examination at screening.
✓. Subject has an average daily pain intensity score of ≥ 4 using the NPRS as determined by pain assessment during the physical examination at screening.
✓. Subject must have a diagnosis of herpes zoster (shingles).
✓. Subject has rash limited to trunk and limbs, with a total surface area of up to 300 cm2.

Exclusion criteria

✕. Subject has an active herpes zoster lesion on the face, head, neck, genital or rectal areas.
✕. Subject has rash limited to trunk and limbs, with a total surface area greater than 300 cm2.
✕. Subject has a known history of allergic reaction, hypersensitivity, or clinically significant intolerance to lidocaine, ingredients of the study drug, or local anesthetics of the amide type.
✕. Subject has target skin area (allodynic area and surrounding skin) that is not intact, is inflamed, or in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, consistent with rash due to acute herpes zoster.
