If you think you have a painful eruption which suggests shingles, see your regular physician, get examined, and treated. We cannot convincingly offer you a direct answer based on information provided.

If you have a vesicular rash on one side of the body, it could be shingles. Visit this site for info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/shingles/symptoms-causes/syc-20353054 If you think you may have shingles, see a doctor as early treatment can prevent later complications.

Please see your Primary Care physician, P.A. or N.P. asap to assess whether you have shingles. If yes, you will be started on anti-viral medications immediately which will help heal the skin vesicles and reduce the risk of post-shingles pain (neuralgia) which can be severe and long-lasting.
