Is this shingles?

Just a very small rash but it's itchy and skin is burning. I've had shingles before but a long time ago and can't remember what it looked like. The rash is in the same place as it was before on my waist.

It’s not very clear, is the small dot next to it a freckle? If it’s just that round bit I’d be thinking ringworm but for the fact you said it’s the exact same spot.

My mum said Ringworm too. I'll pop into a pharmacy and ask their advice. I'm not sure if it is shingles as it's not blustery. It does look and feel more scaly.

It's not a freckle next to it, it's from whatever the rash is.

I have discoid eczema that looks like that and it itches and burns too
