If you are concerned you should see a Doctor If it were me I would phone the Gp weekend number so the Doctor can advise you at least he/she can reassure you or see you

Good luck

If that concerns you, in view of your underlying condition you may need to pop along to your nearest walk in or A&E, They would certainly want to check you for further signs of infection as well as taking your Hughes Syndrome into account. Hope it clears up. MaryF

I get these all the time, if they are reoccurring you might maybe need to see a dermatologist to find out why this is happening - in my case it's a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa causes of it are unknown but most patients are known to have an auto immune condition, it may be worth getting it investigated

the doctor at the VA told me last night I have shingles, as I developed a small rash coming from my arm pit. I never had chicken pox? I'm taking a pill every 3 hours for a week
