Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Shingles usually presents with pain on one side of the body along with rash consisting of tiny fluid filled blisters and excoriated papules.
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.
