Could Small, Red, Spreading Bumps Behind Ears And Chin Be Shingles?

Hi, I have small red bumps behind both of my ears and now under my chin... they have been spreading for the past 2 days. They are not painful but are itchy and uncomfortable. I looked up pictures of shingles rashes and they look similar to the early stages of shingles but are not painful... please help

Dear, usually shingles effect only one dermatome(nerve roots), so shingles occur only in one side. & shingles causes a pricky pain. U should consult your skin specialist if it starts paining & doesnt subside.
