I daresay you've already checked out the signs and symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN).... that being a common cause for facial pain. If not we have a forum here on NeuroTalk for people who suffer from TN, and there's lots of information available on the Internet. Here's the direct link to our TN forum :

I don't know about the rash that you had, but intermittent sharp pain is characteristic of TN. Here's one site that has some good information.

Temporal Arteritis (TA) is another condition causing facial pain that comes to mind. It's a common form of systemic vasculopathy affecting patients older than 50 years.
Wikipedia have a good explanation giving symptoms and even a diagram. Here's the link below for you to check out and see if they might apply to you.
