What is this rash-very painful

This rash is accompanied by a deep burning pain. Only when I brush up against it accidentally. I have had chicken pocks before. Is it shingles? I've also had a sore neck for several months.

It's really hard to tell from the picture, but a painful rash is definitely a hallmark of shingles.

If you think, even for a minute, that it could be shingles, I urge you to get medical treatment ASAP.  The meds available work best when started as soon as possible - the longer you wait, the less effective they are, and shingles can turn into a very painful condition.
