What could this be?

This has appeared across shoulder blades. Both the same. Looks like a pattern. Under skin. Not raised or itchy. Appeared in last 24 hours and feeling fine. Any ideas?!

I would ask if you can send a photo to the gp but one possibility is shingles.

Have you worn a heavy back pack or had tight straps across them?

This happened to me when I was at my lowest body fat percentage, just brushing/marks from stuff rubbing on my skin.

Yes that could be it! Thank you. I couldn’t think what the pattern could be but that fits.

Could it be the imprint of your jumper?

I'd say heavy rucksack, too.

Don’t think that’s shingles. The marks are flat and look more like bruising rather than shingles spots

Definitely the rucksack straps and cannot believe I didn’t think of this! Thanks all
