My Dad got it after he had his first covid jab. His GP said a small number of people had it as a side effect. It was very uncomfortable and look unsightly. Took a while to go too.

I doubt it is shingles.

Raised patches could be hives caused by allergy or food.

But she is best to ring 111 if concerned

I had it a couple of years ago it's horrible and the pain in the arms is just awful.

If it's shingles there will be a circular bunch of spots and the rest of the rash only appears on one side of the body
