Can A Small Rash Lead To Shingles?
hello i think i have a heat rash on my neck. the rash is a little larger that the size of a quarter. it is composed of little red bumps. it seems to be getting worse to me but i have noticed little black dots in the middle of the bumps. they dont seem like scabs, but they could be. I am an african american dark skinned male. i was also concerned with the possibility of shingles.

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
