I have a rash on the top right side of my back. I am sending a photo. I felt a slight burning and itching sensation for a couple of days and now have a burning rash about 5 inches long. It burns and itches a lot and doesn’t look good. Is it something serious?

It seems to be shingles. This can last several weeks. Consult your your doctor to obtain antiviral medication to speed up recovery. You should also request a prescription medication to help reduce pain.
