no pain

It does look like shingles to me. When I had my last shingles attack, I mostly had a persistent dull ache that radiated from the nearest nerve cluster to the point of the rash. But, since you have no pain, that wouldn't be it. Plus, if you don't have itching, then it might not be contact dermatitis, either. And, if benedryl or hydro-cortisone won't work, I would see a doctor then.

I found this link...it says sometimes there's pain and itching but sometimes that doesn't present in all cases.

What do we get if we are the winner of your mystery rash?

A byc bumper sticker???


So do you get sweaty hands?

Looks like a contact dermatitis - something was inside your glove? Detergent, soap, oil, plant dusting compound?

And why wouldn't it be poison ivy? You may have come in contact with some whie working out in the yard - or poison oak, poison sumac, etc.

its def a plant allergy of some sort

THe oil of poison ivy can be on clothes and gloves until they are washed.

I just wanted to clear up the misconception that shingles ALWAYS hurts or causes pain. It does not! It can appear with absolutely no pain whatsoever. I had an outbreak of herpes zoster during my freshmen year of college, but had zero pain. The diagnosis wasn't made on rash alone, but through the VZV-specific IgM antibody test.

Looks like stinging nettle to me also. I don't know where it came from but a new plant has cropped up in the garden, it looks just like catnip but stings like the dickens. It even goes thru cotton garden gloves. I use my horse manure in the garden, musta come in the hay.
