Could Itchy, Red Rash On Side Of Face And Neck Be Due To Virus?

I have a red rash on the side of my face and neck. It's small red bumps with a hole. It's itchy. I went to the doctor yesterday and did not feel tingly feeling or pain, but today sometimes I get a fast intense tingly (Doesn't feel too much pain though). I am worried it's a virus.
