Any GPs or dermatologist about?

[frankie001]

Have had this rash on my neck for 3 weeks. Occasionally itchy, occasionally burn like pain but more if I’ve scratched in the night. Don’t want to waste GP appointment of it’s easily fixed by over counter stuff. Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Looks like shingles.

Thanks, I did wonder but was not sure neck
Was a common site.

Looks so sore! Is it wet or weeping?

GPs are doing some video calls, and they can send any prescription through to your pharmacy.

My friend had shingles on her neck so it’s not unheard of

Just thought I’d come back and report. Ended up speaking to a dermatologist at work and they think it’s related to wearing Ppe. Have been given some cream and seems to be clearing up. Had a few days of not being patient facing and will be back to covid normal by end of the week and back in ppe
