Shingles
Hello. I’ve had a rash for a few days now, which I initially thought was a mosquito bite. Realised recently it’s a rash, and after googling I’m pretty sure it’s shingles. Will see GP tomorrow about it...

Hi @FLClover may I be so bold as to suggest getting to the doctor ASAP, because if it is shingles you need to start the anti viral meds today if possible. I had shingles earlier this year, and I am thankful I got the treatment within 7 days of first noticing a spot/ rash on my forehead, At first I thought it was an insect bite, and like you I sort of self diagnosed, and I was correct, it was shingles. The anti viral meds if started early can lessen the pain and the progression of shingles. Take care.
