What Causes Itchy Rash On Chest During The Recovery Stage Of Shingles?

60 yo that is in the recovering stage of shingles to face and eye. Being tx by both optho. and PCP. Today has noticed across chest, itchy rash. Don t think it s an allergic reaction as meds have been on board since 05 OCT. No blotching, but each vesicle is separate and round/no weeping. It tracks right across chest/belly.
