Lower back pain now got a rash

[Giveronyoursausage]

I'm wondering if anybody has had this?
I hurt my back a week ago and yesterday dp noticed a rash where the pain is. I do suffer with my back but its the first time there has been a rash. I haven't used heat or put anything else on it since Friday.
Thanks

Defintely not a doctor but it could be shingles - I am now an expert after having it for the first time recently 🙄. Contact your GP and ask for an urgent triage call/ emergency appointment/ online consultation or what every they do in your area and tell them the symptoms and that you suspect shingles (after you have Dr Googled too) as if it is you should start antivirals asap. Of course I am not a doctor at all and it may be something completely different.

Agree - could be shingles. Get a HCP to look at it. I

Thanks will call my GP tomorrow
