Hi.
If the appearance of the rash typically seen with shingles is present then I would strongly recommend a visit to your doctor for a confirmation and treatment immediately. Yes it can occur again and I would thus recommend you keep a safe distance from the rest of your family till you can meet a doctor.
Best wishes.
