[|Human|] I have a rash on my left arm near my elbow. Under the rash is muscle that feels very sore. It appears to look bruised, blue almost. It feels as though its hot & burning, doesn t really itch. When I took a picture and zoomed in I could see little blisters.
[|AI|]  Hi, Perhaps it is shingles. The rash in shingles is red, blistery and associated with symptoms like aching pain and burning. It is usually distributed along a dermatome i.e. along the distribution of a spinal nerve. I suggest you to kindly visit a dermatologist in your region for a confirmation of diagnosis. If it is indeed shingling, you would need oral antivirals like either Acyclovir and Val acyclovir for a week. You would also require an OTC painkiller for symptomatic relief from pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
