There is another reason to get looked at by a doctor.
If it is shingles, if you don't get antiviral drugs within about 72 hours...the virus can damage your nerves and lead to long term or permanent neuropathic pain.
Shingles usually presents on only one side of the body. But sometimes there can be lesions on both right and left in about 10% of people. So doctors will say you don't have it, but you still might. There is a blood test for Herpes Zoster titres of antibodies, which if very elevated, suggest active shingles in hard to diagnose presentations.
So you might want to see your doctor ASAP before the treatment window closes.
