Are these bites?

[Splodgerbodgerbadger]

I’ve had this itchy ‘rash’ on my stomach for a week and presume it’s bites but it seems an odd pattern. Not got any anywhere else.

Are you feeling ok otherwise? When I had shingles it looked like that.

That had actually crossed my mind as I vaguely think it was a bit ‘prickly’ before the rash really came out, but I feel fine in myself and it’s not painful.

could be bites, some desperate critter got in there & had a lot of nibbles.
