What Do Itchy Rashes On The Back Indicate?
I have a rash that started with itchy and burning first. started on back spread to back. urgent care thought it might be shingles but not sure since rash is not blistery. I have had shingles shot...could that make the shingles rash different as in dryer? It is only on one side. this has been going on for 1 1/2 weeks since burning and itching started. Urgent care thought that it might be an allergic reaction since I had changed dryer sheet brand. Answers??

Hello,
Shingles vaccination may cause fever, erythema, and rash at the area around the injection site. Also the possibility of developing vaccine-induced shingles. Until the examination done, it is difficult to say what it is? Please consult your Dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
