Hello doctor,
I have a rash that is kinda itchy and it is too warm to touch. It appeared in my lower abdomen and nothing is coming out of it. My environment did not change and my food habits did not either, despite including bananas in my diet.
Hi,

I have gone through the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There are two possibilities:
In my opinion, your lesions are more likely to be of herpes zoster infection.
Either visit your physician as early as possible or consider the following treatment.
Consult a specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent.

Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply. If you do not mind me asking how did it appear all of a sudden one day without any symptoms and no fever?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Both insect bite and herpes appear suddenly without any prior symptoms. And, in herpes zoster, it is not necessary to get fever as long as the patient's immunity is good.
Moreover, in a very typical case of herpes, one half of the body is involved and it is very easily diagnosed clinically.
However, when the patient has good immunity, fewer lesions appear and may mimic insect bite.
