I usually wash antihistamines down with Bacardi, so not a problem. Shingles sprang to my mind too.

I think these are too large to be shingles as they are quite red and inflamed and shingles are blisters aren;t they?

I dont think shingles would manifest so quickly and in my experience they burn before getting itchy. Im no expert though.

Lots of shingles/measles spreading through the population currently, in the main due to unvaccinated young people, thus reducing the overall effectiveness of the vaccine. Have it checked by health professional in the morning.

It may well be nothing though, and might be a temporary stress-related thing.

Could it be stress related? (Maybe following last week's news?)
Have you been scratching it- I know I'm guilty of that (scratching myself not you) and it turns into a rash.

"shingles are blisters aren;t they?" not in the early stages, they first come up as tiny spots with a strange prickly burning sensation.
