I have had shingles rash diagnosed by the GP in the summer, but now it has come back on the other side. Although the nurse i saw yesterday thing it looks like shingles, she says in 99.99% of cases it's only on one side..so she's taken a swab of it and is testing it also for herpes simplex (which she told me wasn't the STD but the cold sore virus).
I'm a bit confused, there is a lot of pain going through my arms and back and the rash runs along a nerve (GP even told me which nerves) so don't think its the other type. Anyone any experience with these rashes? Thanks.
