You would know if you had shingles. It's extremely painful because it follows nerve pathways. You can have residual pain after the breakout leaves for months sometimes longer. It can start with itching but there are amber colored fluid blisters that you break out in. I've seen cases of this in my family and at work. Prayers to you that it isn't that😘

I have a skin disorder called pursgo nodularis. But the rash I get now is different. I had a couple of weeks break from revlimide and it cleared then mow ai am back on revlimid and I am itching all over. I found for the itching using baking soda instead of soap to bath with helps my. Itching. But yes check with your doctor.

I had shingles many years ago. My husband sprayed it with Apple Cider Vinegar and it stopped the itch and the pain. He made a tent with my bed covers and I laid on the side opposite my shingles. Even clothing hurt me. I never went to dr and the shingles went away within a week. Just our homemade remedy.
Might not work for everyone. Do your own research and look for images of shingles. Best wishes and feel better. 🥰

Shingles rash looks like tiny pinpricks in the form of branches on a tree as it follows a nerve path. If it's a general rash, it will be more diverse, with probably bigger red spots.

If it is Shingles... the earlier you get into the dr to treat it, the more likely it is that it won't last last as long.

If it were me, I would get into urgent care asap.

Wendym, It sounds like Shingles. Usually affects torso on one side or the other . Love, Marcia 🌼🌸🌻
