Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Shingles is associated with grouped fluid filled lesions usually with burning sensation/itch/ pain involving the skin in dermatomal pattern, not crossing the midline.
You may send me pic of the lesions or consult dermatologist in person so that diagnosis is confirmed and correct treatment is started.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
Stay Healthy.
