Wait ; see: The duration of your symptoms has not been long enough (assuming no trauma) to indicate anything dire. It could be from sitting in a certain position or type of chair, or a sensitivity of your skin to something it contacted. If it persists past 24, see your pcp. Being that it is on both sides presumably rules out shingles.
