Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.

What you are describing, does not seem like shingles.
It looks more either like an allergy or a parasitic infection called scabies.

Can you please provide some photos so I can have a look at the rash. You can do so by clicking upload at the reports section in this page.
Also please provide some more information:
- Are you allergic from anything?
- How long have you been having this rash?
- How did it develop?
- Have you slept lately in hotels of areas where you could get this parasitic infection?
- Are the medications you are using, helping?

The more information you give, more helpful will be for me so I can give accurate advise.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
