No symptoms other than being very stressed recently. Had it when I was 20 and panicking a bit, it was awful.

Shingles?

Is this on your leg or your side? I can't tell from the photo. I've had it and it does look like the rash I'm sorry. Does it tingle at all?

If it is shingles you need a Drs appointment v quickly to get some antivirals on board.....they'll stop further outbreaks and help to heal the current rash. I was told off by GP for waiting over the weekend when DS had it 6 months ago....he says that I should have gone to A&E!!

It is shingles. Confirmed by GP yesterday. Have the antiviral meds and cream. Really hope I've caught it early!
