Suggest Treatment For Shingles Blisters

I think I may have shingles. I have a rash on my right side of my stomach that spread to my breast and a few bumps on my neck, arms and chest. They hurt like a small blister but not as bad as I heard shingles could be. The bumps itch constantly and they dry up within a couple of days with a scab that looks like chicken pox from my childhood. More red bumps continue to develop. They start out looking like welts and shrink down to a small pox looking bump in a couple of days.
