Can A Small Rash Lead To Shingles?

hello i think i have a heat rash on my neck. the rash is a little larger that the size of a quarter. it is composed of little red bumps. it seems to be getting worse to me but i have noticed little black dots in the middle of the bumps. they dont seem like scabs, but they could be. I am an african american dark skinned male. i was also concerned with the possibility of shingles.
