Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have gone through your complaints and it seems to be shingles. The nerve pain and blisters is a feature of shingles and not a side effect of Gabapentin. You should take a course of antiviral medicines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
