Rash? (New photo attached)

Thanks for your reply. Have attached another photo which hopefully is a fair bit clearer. Would appreciate any more thoughts :-)
This rash shown in photo attached has appeared on my daughter (aged almost 16). It is also in larger patches in other areas including under the breast Anyone have any idea what it looks like? It seems raised and she said it is painful to touch. Her arm on this side is also aching when she lifts it. See pic attached. Thanks.

Dr has confirmed it's herpes zoster (shingles). Apparently as she's young it's "not dangerous" and should start to scab in a week or so. She's been told to not put cream on it and just to take painkillers and they are not willing to do much else for her atm!

Most likely to be herpes zoster. Do get treated by your physician after confirmation. History as to onset and duration would be most useful here.
Best wishes.
