Answers:
Shingles usually starts to show as livid red spots on your chest or back which, if not treated, gradually spread over these areas!. If they are shingles they will be very painful, so much so that it can be too painful to wear clothing that touches the spots!. You need to see a doctor because, unless they are treated quickly, they will spread and can become unbearable!. If they are shingles you will be prescribed Zovirax tablets (Zovirax is used in its cream form to cure cold sores which are caused by the same virus is shingles and chicken pox - Herpes simplex!.) I took Zovirax tablets 5 times a day for 5 days and the shingles cleared up!. If you suffer from cold sores regularly then shingles is a distinct possibility!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's not shingles - they are site specific and travel along a nerve line!. These are random and sound like maybe poison ivy!? Been to the woods lately!?
Chicken pox would be everywhere - belly, buttocks, boobs - nothing is spared!.
If you went to the beach - could be sand flea bites!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like chicken pox to me!. I think someone told me shingles were a little painful!. If it hurts it may be shingles!.
Put some calomine lotion on your body!. Also take a bath or shower in room temp water, try your best not to scratch!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its probably chicken pox!. shingles is like big blisters and very painfull!. get it checked out, it could just be a reaction to somethin, like soap or washing powder if your using something newWww@Answer-Health@Com
