Shingles?

[OddSocksAreCool]

There's chickenpox going around my kids school and this has just appeared under my chin seemingly spreading down my neck. Also got weird tingling ache on that side. Could this be shingles? I've had it once before and it was hell! TIA

You can’t ‘catch’ shingles from chicken pox though so if it is it will be because it’s reactivated, and it’s just a total coincidence.

Ah thanks that's good to know! Either coincidence or random painful rash then!

It doesn't look like shingles to me. Take an antihistamine and see if that helps it.
