Could this be impetigo?

Just that really, the areas where the busters are, sting, it has spread over night, massively .
I have a compromised immune system, my DS had impetigo when he was about 8-9, he is 19 now, so my memory of it is lacks
TIA

Might be shingles

And if it is it might be worth going to get anti virals

Shingles, didn't think of that one, aww man, this close to Christmas too, oh well, take even more and carry on, although, we're supposed be having our 7 almost 8yo god-twins over for the night on Thursday, they are going to be so upset

Sorry was meant to say, take even more tablets and carry on

Shingles only spreads chicken pox by contact with fluid from the blisters, it's not airborne. Have they had chicken pox before?

I think that looks like shingles, you should see your gp straight away for anti virals, they need taking asap.
My ds had what the doctor thought was impetigo when he was a baby and that was a sore from a scratch that wouldn't heal and needed antibiotic cream.

@dementedpixie yes they have, but I can remember when my mum got shingles, she was told to stay away from everyone (or was my mum saying that as an excuse to stay in bed and be waited on, hand and foot?! Hmm 🤔) that's got me thinking now

NHS says this:

Stay away from certain groups of people if you have shingles

You cannot spread shingles to others. But people who have not had chickenpox before could catch chickenpox from you.

This is because shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus.

Try to avoid:

• pregnant women who have not had chickenpox before
• people with a weakened immune system – like someone having chemotherapy
• babies less than 1 month old – unless it's your own baby, as they should be protected from the virus by your immune system

No it's not impetigo from what I can see (not a doc though) does look like shingles though.

@dementedpixie thank you.
No more appointments available for today, including in the "hub" which I'm assuming is the emergency/out of hours, so have to phone in the morning and see if there are any left (by the time I get through the queue!)

Thank you everyone, I've managed to get an appointment with my doctors, after phoning 111, the man said, that because I have RRMS and have a bad immune system I should tell the receptionist I need to be seen within the next 2 hours (he agrees with all of you, from my description, he also thinks it's shingles), so they gave me 5.40 even though I was told half hour before, there were no more appointments available 🤷🏼‍♀️
Since the photo was taken it has spread down the side of my eye.
Thank you again everyone
