My son just came downstairs and said I needed to look at something. He took off his shirt and he has a rash that has blisters. I said he needs to go to the urgent care on WLH by the bank.
I think this is looking like shingles. He is 38 years old. Butler said he is too young for shingles. I said I knew of a girl that got it when she was 24 years old.
If it is shingles I wonder if they can give something for pain relief.

It could be shingles. They have meds for relief. I've had them 3 times and shingles are not pleasant.

Most likely cortisone injection or capsules

He can still get shingles even before fifty. I had a friend that got them at nineteen.
Didn't your family just return from a cruise? Could he have been exposed then? Praying it is not shingles and can be readily treated. Praying for him.
He needs to go right away…today, if for nothing else but to know for sure and get started on treatment before the holiday. If it is shingles he will need good pain management and will need to stay on top of and in front the pain. I hope it's not shingles.

We have been back for about 2 weeks. I don't think you get that from cruising. He has a room by himself across from us.
Well that is good to know. I just want all the help we can get.
Yeah already on the way. I sure hope they give him some help with this.
My son has been stressed since he was born. I do think you are right about stress being a factor.
I thought they were contagious but apparently not. Please keep us updated.
I was just thinking about when he would be able to get the shingles shot. I thought they recommended around 50.
I think they might be. But he does not get around anyone on the cruise. But I can tell you that I am stressed on the daily over this guy.

Thanks everyone. He does have shingles. Omg. Doctor is giving a cream and medication.
