Have had shingles before

Yesterday a random rash appeared on my upper right torso, today is itchy and sore

Feel a bit run down but put that down to not sleeping well for a few days

Pic attached!

Shingles for me are always easily identifiable blisters and have that burny tingle prior to appearing. I wouldn’t describe it starting as a rash either.

Is this area where you’ve had shingles before? Mine is always in the same ish area (buttocks, upper leg and lower back).

Could this have been due to the heat/humidity yesterday?

Shingles will only be on one side of the body, hard to tell from the pic, but if it is shingles get an antiviral prescription asap to lesson symptoms.
