Possible shingles?

Photo hopefully attached! She has a sore, itchy spot on the elbow, plus feeling warmer than normal. No injury to the elbow and not scratched it. She’s been a bit run down with a cold the last week and had a steroid injection which I know can lower the immune system further.

This would be the second time she’s had shingles and it looks like last time, although that was on her torso and larger.

She went to the walk in last time and they confirmed it was shingles and gave her anti virals.

I’d like her to do the same tomorrow but she says the area is too small to go to the walk in (the size of her little finger nail).
