Anyone hazard a guess at this rash?

I've had this for about a week now. It's on my ribs under where my breast rests when I'm sitting down (all day at work) so I'm presuming they're related.

Does it look fungal? I'm going try and get to a pharmacy today but starting to worry as its slowly spreading.

It's a little bit itchy but only when I wipe it etc.

Could be fungal - try some caneston cream

Or could possibly be shingles, but that is usually painful rather than itchy. If you have it on both sides of your body, that would rule out shingles as it follows a single nerve.

I've just googled shingles and my spots look bigger than those and less pearly and no pain either. Its slightly itchy but I can ignore it easily

Yeah I'll see what the pharmacist suggests.

Just updating for anyone in the future, @Seeline it was shingles! Gp said I've caught it early so good call!

Oh no! Hope you got some antivirals, and aren't in too much pain. Get well soon.
