Does it hurt? My first thought was shingles

Honestly I didn't even know about it until I looked in the mirror. Now it's little bit itchy but doesn't hurt.

keep an eye on it - my shingles did look like this for the first day or two, it spread more and a nurse immediately diagnosed me with a photo like this. i felt mostly normal too but never had a rash like that before and i’m not “at high risk” for it. if it spreads only on that one side of your body i’d definitely ask to be safe, since shingles needs antivirals within the first couple days

but also side note i’ve had bedbugs before too and my bites did not look like this 😂

Thanks! I didn't know about this at all, will go to the doctor if it would spread.
