Shingles

[Lushmetender]

Is this shingles?

Maybe. Where is it on the body? Normally follows the line of a nerve on one side of the body

Kind of on my butt cheek - hard to see closely but I know getting meds early helps with pain so wondering if should get gp appointment

My 7yr old dd has just gotten over shingles and yes that's what the rash looked like before it scabbed up. Was v painful for her. She had a patch on her side and on her back on the same side.

I could feel something and noticed it in the night. My husband had them about 10 years ago. Had a rotten headache in the night and felt knackered when6 year old woke us up at 5 am. Best to get it checked
