Rash: If your rash is in a linear distribution or cluster, it can be shingles, you should seek medical help as soon as possible, call your doctor for an appointment.

See a dermatologist: There are many possible causes. Shingles will be painful ; on 1 side, not itchy. See a dermatologist. You may benefit from prescription cream.
