Recently, about 1 week ago, he developed a rash-like area
on his left side, just above his
waist line. The area is approx. 3 cm around, red, WAS yellowish and crusty, now scabbed. Another area near to it measures 3 mm x 1cm long. There has been no drainage, no itching, just occasional sharp pain. I work in long term care, so I have saw Shingles, and this does not look like Shingles.
