Likely to hurt: The hot water is likely to cause you pain at the site of the rash. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Some basics: A bath would rinse any salt (sweat) from the sores which can be helpful. Nerve impulses that signal pain move faster when warm/slower when cold. If you have pain with your shingles heat will likely increase that pain. The choice is yours. I would go with cold showers.
