Brief Answer:
Not looking shingles, either contact dermatitis or insect bite reaction
Detailed Answer:
Sorry for the delayed answer.
I have reviewed the attached photograph though it is not very clear.
It seems to be either contact dermatitis or insect bite hypersensitivity reaction.
It is not looking like shingles.
I would recommend you to continue applying triamcinolone acetonide cream twice daily for atleast 7-10 days.
Besides this I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg twice daily.
