Hello Alan,
Welcome to healthcare magic
I am thinking of shingles. Is the rash limited to one side of the body? Shingles can have grouped painful vesicles. Without an opportunity to closely examine the lesion, I would not be able to accurately specify the condition. You might need to consider a consultation with dermatologist for assessment and work up.
Hope this helped
Take care
