Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rash On Midriff,leg And Back

My husband has had an itchy rash which is on midriff, leg, small of back - but not going around as in shingles. Started toward end of January or little earlier. Now, largest area seems to be small of back and pattern is still same. In places, there is a dried up center with scab. I, myself, had shingles, and this really wasn t the same. The early rash was in circles about the size of a nickel.

Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic. I have read your query and understood your concern.

Shingles can have varying presentation.
Still such rash can be infective or allergic.

I will advice you to put some pics or visit your dermatologist in person for proper examination.

Good luck.
