Could Nerve Pain In Hips With Fluid Filled Blisters Suggest Shingles?

hello, i am a 32 year old female, for the past 3 days i have had what i describe as nerve pain that started in my hip and then wrapped around my right leg down to my foot. My skin is painful to light touch. Then after 2 or three days i develope a quarter sized rash with fluid filled blisters. I have had previous incidences like this about a year ago before i had my second child. I am concerned its shingles. The rash always appears in the same spot depending on what leg is hurting. My right leg i get a rash on my pubic area....my left, the rash appears above the knee.
