Hello,

Burning sensation in upper back and shoulders could be due to Herpes Zoster. The onset of the disease is heralded by pain within the dermatome, which may precede lesions by 48–72 h. Erythematous maculopapular.

The rash may appear even after 3 days of pain.

In a few patients, characteristic localization of pain to a dermatome with serologic evidence of herpes zoster has been reported in the absence of skin lesions, an entity known as zoster sine herpetica.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
