It could be bug bites or work stress that weaken your immune system.

You need to consult a different doctor and ask for an escalated referral to a dermatologist.

If it's Shingles it needs to be treated with anti virals. If it's bug bites they need to be identified so you can do something about it. If work is making you so stressed out you are breaking out and in a painful rash that needs to be addressed.

Regardless - 'eh it'll go away' is not an adequate diagnosis.
