Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

It'd be hard to diagnose without seeing it, but it could be shingles, and shingles are nothing to worry about, other than being a little uncomfortable..

You can still get shingles if you have either had chicken pox or had the vaccine.

Jeff S - a little uncomfortable - your nuts! Sorry, but you must have had the slightest case ever! I never had so much pain and I went through 3 c-sections, plus a host of other things. You'd better talk to some other people who have really experienced the pain of Shingles!
