Hello,
Any ideas on what this rash is? Does anyone think shingles? It's fairly itchy and burny, just on one side of my neck,
Thanks 😊

When I had shingles the rashes were a lot more clustered but I imagine there's a lot of variations.

Are you near a pharmacy? They should be able to advise and give you medication for it if it is shingles (assuming you are in the UK)

This is an image of shingles from Wikipedia.
Agree with PP about going to pharmacist. Needs to be treated promptly for the medicine to be effective.
