Hello, initially shingles does have any rashes, only burning sensation on the affected area. This area is like a strip over one side of skin, where that particular group of nerves travel. but again if, different parts of body is involved, than chances of shingles is very less.
Rashes of lupus is not like that. they are typically present on both side, not only on one side, and not causing pricks only.
I think you should should see your doctor as soon as possible, because if shingles, medicines work better when given in early disease activity
