There's something like a skin rash or something on my friends skin and we're trying to find out what it is.

the one on the left looks bubbly and has black dots inside of them





and the one on the right looks like it's developing into the samething





can you please tell us what it is and how to treat it?|||It looks to me like it could be the Herpes Zoster Virus, also known as Shingles. Is the site of the "rash" painful or itchy? Maybe both? I need some more information on the condition of the area. If it is Shingles, has your friend had the Chicken Pox yet? Shingles and Chicken Pox are both from the Herpes Zoster Virus. Sometimes, (only after having the Chicken Pox first) the virus lays dormant in the nerve bundles in the body and when a person is stressed, they flare up causing a painful, itchy rash area on the skin.





Hope this is helpful!|||It resembles early stage poison ivy exposure. The blisters are a definite symptom.|||Does your friend do yard work at home or anything? If so, is the area you live in have a lot of wild shrubs, weeds, etc.? Consider this because it sounds like Poison Ivy - treatable, but a pain for certain.





Best to your friend.|||I think she should see the doctor.





I've seen a drawing that looks very similar to the picture, you showed. I hope it's not what I think it is.
