It's not a rash - it's HIVES. More than likely you also have hives under the skin you can't see, a condition known as angioedema. Check out Methyl B-12, it also helps to stop shingles outbreaks. Also Vitamin C (emergen-c) may help lower the histamine levels in your system.
Thank you for your concern. I posted after this, on September 2...I developed a classic case of shingles.
