The bug bite will not cause shingles. Shingles is a re-activation of the chickenpox virus that affects a single nerve bundle, generally on the torso.

The symptoms you are describing could be shingles (particularly if you had chickenpox as a child), or it could be an infection in the lymphatic system (possibly caused by a bug bite).

What is a rash that developed generally on your back and stomach a couple of days after being diagnosed with shingles on the left side of the face?

That's the course in which Shingles go and it's very painful. Shingles follows a line (a nerve) and can be anywhere on the body but the most popular place for this unpleasant problem is from under the shoulder blade to below the breast (under the arms) in women and men. Eventually the red spots will turn into blisters and it's at this time the person has to be most careful and they can be contagious. The doctor can give you medication which will generally clear it up in 4 days to a week (depending on the individual) and also an ointment (that smells and looks like you applying clear nail polish) on the sores so they will dry up. Take good care of yourself and if you don't have a doctor go to a clinic and be sure to keep an eye on this. Some individuals can have a recurrence of this.

Can you get shingles under your arm pit?

Yes it is possible to get shingles on various parts of the body. This is due to the chicken pox virus (varicella virus) lying dormant along those particular nerve endings waiting for you to become run down, unwell or low and then they go to work and give you an outbreak of shingles. Make sure you get some treatment to speed up the healing process and make it more comfortable for you whilst you're suffering.
