Possible shingles? Any doctors?

Question

I am going to call my OB in the morning. It's very itchy and it's causing pain it's so itchy. It started as a rash this morning and now it's all blistered. I am pregnant. I saw pharmacist who said it looks like shingles.

I work in a daycare. Not directly with kids but my office is in daycare. My boss hasn't said to not come in but is this possibly shingles? It's on my right neck only.

Answer

You can't really pass it on unless they touch the actual puss that comes out of them. More than likely you came in to contact with someone with the chicken pox virus.

Answer

Get this checked out ASAP.

Answer

It definitely looks like shingles or something related. It's the liquid inside the blisters that's infectious so do your best not to touch them, maybe even keep the area covered until you can get to the doctor and have it properly diagnosed.

Answer

Update: it is shingles. Saw doctor this morning.

Answer

It looks like it.. Get it checked asap. If its shingles theres not much they can do. My mom has had it twice and said it feels like razor burn x10 mixed with someone stabbing the same place :(. They wont even give her the vaccine because you have to be 60 for insurance and she is 56. Ridiculous

Answer

Yes that's the shingles. My mom just found out she has them. She is in dire pain and ended up having to get pain meds to help for the time being. Her whole body aches and she just wants to cry.
