83 year old with a one week old rash. Was only concerned about the upper arm rash in photo 1. He was surprised when I asked where else it was, as he hadn’t noticed it on his forearm. He had noticed it on his hand, but thought he had probably “gotten into something.” Zero pain. What percentage of shingles has zero pain?
