I'm glad it's not shingles, 'cause I'm way too late to tell you to get to a dr. ASAP. Shingles rash usually occurs only on one side, belly button to spine (or on the face), but as others said, it affects the nerves and can cause permanent nerve damage, leading to lifelong pain. So, anyone who thinks they may have it needs to get treated immediately to prevent that damage!
Hope your rash is better now.
