Brief Answer:
Yes, discussion follows

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Shingles can recur if your immunity is low.
This may be a fungal infection as it is itchy.
If it is a fungal infection it is easily treated with local application and tablets.
It would be good to have yourself examined by a doctor and treated based on the diagnosis made.

Do get back to me if you have further questions.
