Dd has had this come up all over her lower back. It’s both sides so I’m thinking not shingles. It’s come up overnight. She used to get some face and back acne but she’s on meds for that and hasnt had it in ages.

Looks very congested to me. Does it itch?.

JacobReesMogadishu · 24/10/2020 22:13

No, not itchy.

Could be shingles if on both sides

JacobReesMogadishu · 24/10/2020 22:45

Some of them are quite blister like And she’s prone to shingles. This will be third time if it is.

I would be inclined to err on the side that it is most likely shingles if she's prone and it really has popped up overnight

Is it like that all over her back- I'm guessing that is just a small part?

Do agree with PP her skin looks very congested though, but never heard of acne on lower back

JacobReesMogadishu · 24/10/2020 23:19

Yeah it’s over her sacrum area and also her buttocks.

She's not been in a hot tub by any chance has she? Looks similar to folliculitis (however you spell it!) and in the right area. My DD also gets a grass rash in the same area a bit like raised, spotty eczema.

Ah, she might have been at the gym. I’ll ask her tomorrow.
