<s>[INST] I have broke out in a rash down both sides of my stomach, starting under my breasts down to about my hips. Its about  hand width wide. Ive been extremely tired, not being able to wake up in the mornings feeling like I just need more sleep until around 11:00 am. then I feel the need to take a nap. I take gabapentin, Norco and other medications for neck and back issues so these places dont hurt or even itch except for at night and only a little then. I have been taking a Benadryl at night so I wont have the urge to scratch them. Wondering what this might be. Im thinking shingles but do not know. Any information would be appreciated. thank you [/INST] Hi, Thanks for your question on ChatDoctorI do understand your pain and discomforts As per your history is concerned you are right, and it is herpes zoster a virus which is called as shingles in medical science. So do a clinical examination first by your local doctor, and he will prescribe you a course of antiviral [ACYCLOVIR], for pain use capsaicin cream, numbing agents like lidocaine, and a short course steroid orally. Hope that helps </s>
