It sounds to me like some of the skin allergies I've had reactions too. My Mom used to get rashes inside her elbow and on her wrist. The Dr told her it was stress.
My allergies often included puffy, swollen hands or glands. The rashes often responded to hydrocoritzone and an antihystamine. You could try an antihystamine such as Diphenhydramine Hydrocloride e or clorphenamarine maleate. Claritan can also help but it's longer lasting and if that isn't it you have to wait to take certain other medications.
I agree with those here who suggest seeing a Dr. Even a family Dr might be able to help you. One cream they MIGHT prescribe is Triamcinolone with is a antihystamine and cortizone blend. It worked well for me more than once. You can only get it by prescription though.
As for shingles - sometimes they form into blisters but not always. They will form in LINES that often follow the ribs radiating outward from the spine because they follow the nerve endings. Look for any patterns in the rashes besides blotches. Get thee to a physician post haste if you should find lines.
