I have a spot on my forehead maybe 2 inches in diameter and has been
burning like a severe sunburn for 24 hrs. I did have 2 little papules
at the lower margin but nothing else seems to be happening. Just a
little red. I've had similar "pimples" on my face over the years and
they have alway just gone away but always had some pain and a numbness
like a prodromal period. Now this bigger patch is amazingly painful.
I'm T2 diabetic and taking metformin. maybe this is a side effect. I
plan to see my doc on Monday if this doesn't resolve itself over the
week end. It doesn't seem to be full blown Shingles which I had 15 yrs
ago. But seems to be just a little bit of shingles if there is such a
thing. I am tempted to call it pseudo-schingles or Herpes Simplex?Any
ideas?
