Weird spots/rash

Hi,

I am a bit lost of what could be going on with my lower back.

It started a few days ago with a spot that felt sore when I pressed - just assumed it was a bite, then as the days have gone on, more red spots have appeared. They don’t itch, when I touch them they are hard and sore.

Any ideas?

Looks like the beginnings of shingles. Not just older people who get this. My DD (26) had this a few weeks ago in exactly the same place.

It does look like shingles. Is it only on one side of the body?

Hiya yes and there’s a few more spots on my hip and my stomach is itching like mad! It’s like it’s gone round from there to my belly, but it’s all of the left side only! It’s sore if I touch it when it itches and my belly has gone bruised!

I cancelled out thinking it was shingles because I’m 36 and had a good dose of chicken pox when I was younger! I’ll pop to the pharmacist xx
