Hello,
Itchy and painful bumps on back can be due to bug / insect bite, allergy etc.Shingles causes intensely painful lesions distributed along a dermatome or region of distribution of a nerve. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for clinical assessment and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
