Any ideas what this rash could be?

I’ve got a painful rash on my leg that has came up quite quickly. I thought I might have been bitten by something but it isn’t itchy and seems to be spreading rapidly down the leg over the course of the day. I’m going to go to a pharmacy after work to see if they can shed any light but thought I’d post here too in case anyone has any ideas for interim relief!

Eumovate cream will help with the itching x

Have you been switching in fresh water? It looks like what happens when my son got swimmer’s rash.

No swimming since I went on holiday back in April.

I woke up with 2 marks, had a shower in case something had bitten me, went to work and since then they just keep popping up down the leg. It’s so painful though, I think I’d rather it was itchy!

Did your ever get to the bottom of this?

I know this is an old thread, but shingles is a possibility - especially with the pain.
