What you described is suggestive of Shingles. If the rash is limited to one side of the body, it is very likely to be shingles. See a doctor as antiviral treatment may help in limiting the extent and severity of the lesions. Your doctor may also provide pain relief.

I too believe you have contracted an outbreak of herpes zoster, causing focal shingles. Should start treatment ASAP to shorten the course and prevent post-herpetic neuralgia. Also prudent to survey potential underlying conditions which might have created vulnerability.
