I had the shingles vaccine 2 years ago.
I have developed a rash first on my lower arms then on my upper arm, shoulders. The lower arms have cured.
I thought at first I was allergic to my arm moisturizer, because that's only where I applied it .
So I stopped.
No sores, just red blotches. Somewhat itchy, but not unbearable. I tried hydrocortisone, but that seems to make it worse.
The best I can do to relieve it is to wash the area with Dove liquid soap and mop it up a bit.
It doesn't seem to go away.. I have an apt with a dermatologist next month.
My question is..is this a possible small shingles problem, or my other question is could it be alcohol poison related, because I have been overdoing it for a few months.
What's my best option at this point?
