Cheers all, fortunately got diagnosed within the first 72 hours and anti viral meds are working great, slowed up the rash considerably, just very sensitive skin, like having a bad sunburn.
Unfortunately my immune system is compromised because of Multiple Myeloma, so very,very lucky it's not worse.
If you don't start treatment within 72 hours it can be real bad for up to a month.
