Seems to be either insect bite reaction or eczematous dermatitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
According to your complaints it seems to be either insect bite reaction or eczematous dermatitis.
In either of the condition you can apply cortisone cream on the itchy bumps twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine 4 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
It doesn't seem to be shingles as it affects one side of the body and is associated with pain and burning instead of itching.
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
