Anyone know what this is? Bite/rash? Pics incl.

Hi, my mum woke up three days ago with this bite/rash next to her tailbone. It was itchy the first day but now isnt so itchy, but feels hot. I just don't think it looks like a normal mosquito bite- but maybe a spider bite? It's also that the front thigh crease/groin on the same side feels sensitive and achy so worried it may be corresponding. Any advice would be grateful!

Shingles? Is she well in herself?

I second shingles. Although when I got shingles I felt totally fine so she may not necessarily feel unwell with them!

Thank you both, didnt think of shingles, she feels fine in herself but will phone docs in the morning and check!
