Update: not shingles..infection called cellulitis

Yes its not shingles, urgent care told me its an infection, not sure from what exactly, but caused cellulitis..so he " guessed" a spider bite but if it goes beyond the line he drew to go to ER IMMEDIATELY. Put me on doxycycline hyclate twice a day for 10 days. If no improvement, go to ER..UGH I HATE PAIN AND PILLS! Tylenol 500 twice a day for 10 days half hr after antibiotics. Yay..another day..it is what ever it is..i dont understand why they didnt culture the yellow

drainage or at least run blood work...

Please do not blame it on a spider. They rarely bite and only certain spiders in certain regions can even cause illness.

It certainly looked like herpes. But with secondary infection.

@CloudAngel80 no problem I find it fascinating. I would send you to infectious disease or dermatology

@samueltyler2 well how do i fix it? This doctor at urgent care gave doxacylan sone antibiotic blue pill 100 mg two times a day

@CloudAngel80 acyclovir would be the my suggestion.
