Can sudden red rashes with severe severe deep pain on right side of the scalp, face and neck along with fever be anything else other than shingles?

Probably not: Shingles is certainly the most likely.

Hard to say without: photos, and more info, but time to to visit your doctor and get assistance, and treatment, as if it is shingles, it can be a painful condition. See your doctor for definitive diagnosis.

Face and neck and ears get red and hot most evenings. What could possibly cause that? And no rash or bumps. Just red like a light sunburn and warm but no fever. Its just uncomfortable.
