Hi I've got this rash like thing on my leg and the side of my other thigh it's so bloody itchy I Scratched so hard it bled.. I don't have any skin conditions but my friend has got shingles... What do you think this looks like

You only get shingles on one side of your body following a nerve if it crosses the middle or you have it on both sides then No it isn't.

Looks like ringworm but hard to tell from a picture.

Agree - not shingles. It follows the line of a nerve, and it is extremely unlikely that you would get it in two places at once.
Also I don't think you can get shingles from shingles.
Shingles is very painful, rather than itchy.

I get dry skin and eczema that look like that and always worry it's something else, it never has been :)

You can't catch shingles. No it doesn't look like it to me.

That looks like ring worm to me. It's a fungus on your skin that is constantly growing outwards - leaving a patch of healthier healing skin in the middle of the 'ring' and an angry red outer line. Would itch like mad too.

Pharmacist should have a look and give you a cream.

You mainly get ring worm from cats or sharing towels etc.
