Looks like you've scraped yourself on something

I know, my partner said it looks like some kind of friction rub?! But I can't remember doing that. Am wondering whether it's from lying on my side all night?

Look up shingles, I've got it at the m9ment and my rash was like that when it started.

It’s petechia, just blood vessels that have been burst under the skin. I sometimes get it after itching after a hot shower. It should disappear after a few days.

It’s petechiae. You probably scratched yourself in your sleep. It’s basically a bruise.
