Plz Help me Im geting scared?

Over the SUMMER I got a what you could call a rash on my arm it was red and hurt a little and itch but just around it not on it. it also had stared making little bumps. the next day it the bumps looked like they there blisters I went to the ER and the dr only looked at me for about a min and said I had shingles. the nurse said she really did not think that was it bc shingles spreads and this has not just stayed in the same spot. I no this also bc i have had shingles be for about for years ago. well about a week went by and it went away. about a month or two past and the same thing happen again it stayed in the same place as be for and went away in a week or so.
And today i stared felling my arm hurting again in that same place and its starting to do it again.
I just want to no if anyone no what this could be. Can it be shingles and if so what should i do also I will be 23 in two days so i no im young for this

My husband had the same problem. His started out as a small rash under his eye, and spread in a formation along his cheek bone. It's really nothing to panic over. Dr said that lots of stress can bring this up. Which is why on my husband it came up on his cheek bone, theres a nerve that runs along there. They gave him some antiviral pills and he was good. It never got as far as the bumps and stuff, but you do need to be careful of touching it, because it acts just like poison ivy would, it the blisters pop, it spreads. Also, my husband got better and then worse, better, worse, for about a month or so, and until he got the anti viral pills. Good luck.

Hi,
How are you? The virus responsible for chickenpox remains inactive in certain nerves in the body and this can lead to shingles later. The reason the virus suddenly become active again is not clear but may occur if the immune system is weakened by medications or disease. Shingles usually present with pain, tingling, or burning sensation and rash located in one dermatome, followed by small blisters that break, forming small ulcers that begin to dry and form crusts. The crusts fall off in 2 to 3 weeks. It is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Direct clinical examination is important. Take care and do keep us posted.
