I understand about the skin
pain, i have had the same thing on my upper thigh and lower
leg mainly left
leg and it is painfull, i have had no redness, no breaking out, i disagree that it could be shingles. I have had them 3 times. they follow a nerve line and you get one chicken pock blister or bite looking thing it is painful and then it spreads. the first time on my left side on my back, 7 years ago, the last 2 times were july 10 and july 11. right arm and right side under right breast.
