Shingles or heat rash

[Tripsytart]

Can anyone tell me what this rash on one side of my neck is . Ive been headachy and tired last few days then this rash appears.

Hard to say but you can go to nearest pharmacy and they can check, rather than wait for doctors appointment. Shingles needs medication as soon as you can start it so best to rule it out. I have had it twice, it starts as blisters and can be itchy. Good luck.

I think that a rash on one side is a feature of shingles. Plus the headache. Do
please get it checked out - someone I know has been extremely unwell (hospitalised) with complications from shingles recently. Antivirals need to be prescribed quickly.

I would expect a heat rash to be more bilateral to be honest, rather than on one side. DH had a rash recently which I was convinced was shingles - he also felt tired and unwell. Turned out it was a (different) virus and he was fine in a few days.
