I just wanted to say thank you to the people in fishbowl that called this out as Shingles. It is indeed Shingles as confirmed by doctor. Without y’all I probably would not have pursued to get it checked out and get treatment!!! 🙏
I’ve just had them diagnosed. How are you doing OP? Did it get worse with the antiviral before it got better?
Shingles? This is how mine presented and I got them at 30. So much for it being in elderly

A key way to diagnose shingles is that they present in a horizontal line, on one half of your body.
I had shingles in college. I’d go to a doctor ASAP, as they can progress from itchy to stabbing pain real quick.
Honestly it looks like some sort of HSV, which could be shingles or other. You’d need an antiviral which is not OTC
Is there a possibility it’s shingles? That’s the area where it usually starts, around the waist and/or sides.

I would try a dermatologist first
Are you sure they’re not bug bites? Your regular GP should be able to take a look.
I’m not sure if they’re bug bites bc I haven’t been out in nature and checked my sheets for bed bugs and don’t see any. They don’t itch anymore but just hurt idk how to explain it. They’re still raised on my skin though and so annoying. I just think the area in which I have it is so odd.

I might try an anti fungal cream. assuming it’s hot and humid where you are ?

Is moisture getting trapped ? it can cause an outbreak like hives.

When you say you took allergy meds, did you take Claritin or Benadryl. Benadryl is what you want
