Shingles??

Please can anyone who has had shingles before, tell me if this rash could be the start of shingles? I’ve never had it before but this rash started yesterday and all of a sudden is getting worse and feels painful.

Shingles??

Mine felt something like a bee sting. It won't cross your spine being one tell tale sign. But get down the pharmacist, you might be able to see some of the pain off with drugs. When mine was in the raw phase it was agonising, but the worst of it did pass after a few days.

Anti viral drugs ASAP if it is

Definitely
My mum had it and was too late. She really suffered. My friend is a nurse and when she had it knew what to look for and got the drugs in herself asap.
