What Causes Redness And Itching Sensation On Left Shoulder And Breast?
Hello, I have a red area covering my Lt shoulder and going across to half of my breast and down my lt. side. It is very red and itches. It feels hot to the touch and maybe a bit swollen. I have been out in the woods in Wa state picking berries. The red area is very painful, itches and burns. If I push on it several places are very painful. Any ideas? Sorry I didn t know I had to pay. Sorry I wasted your time.

Hey its okay. After reviewing your query, it looks like you are suffering from shingles. I agree this canbe extremely painful.
You should take pregabalin 75mg at night and then increase it to 75 mg 2 times daily. And in case of persistence of pain you can take upto 150mg 2 times daily.
Getwell soon.
In case of any further query, you can follow up with me.
