i have a rash in the middle of my back that is about as big around as a golf ball (maybe a little bigger). i noticed it a couple days ago and just assumed my skin was irritated or something. it itches a little bit and i am kind of sore in that area but the rash has not spread or worsened. ive been looking online today and im thinking it might be shingles. any thoughts? should i go to a doctor? what kind of treatment is necessary?
Hi, There is no possibility of shingle, but it may be impetigo or insect bite dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. After thorough examination and investigations he may provide proper medicines. Hope this helps, Chat Doctor.
