Bro, Fantom called it correctly. You have Herpes Zoster (aka Shingles.) Let me describe it for you:
You have bubble like blisters going in a band around part of your chest and maybe onto your back... above the diaphram. It is starting to itch like hell.
Some people get extreme pain from the blisters. Some people don't get pain.
You need to go to the doc to make sure, but there isn't a lot he can do (except maybe prescribe some painkillers.) You just have to last it out and try not to scratch.

This is what I got on it so far.. I have answered my own questions 
It is contagious if you have not had chicken pox. Also it is not gear related unless gear has weakened my immune system causing the virus to spread. Continue reading its quite interesting

Herpes zoster, also known as shingles or zoster, is a viral infection caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. Anyone who's had chicken pox can develop herpes zoster. The virus remains dormant or inactive in certain nerve root cells of the body and only when it reactivates does zoster occur. About 20 percent of those people who have had chicken pox will get zoster at some time during their lives. Fortunately, most people will get zoster only once.
It is not clear what prompts the virus to reactivate or "awaken" in healthy people. A temporary weakness in immunity (the body's ability to fight infection) may allow the virus to multiply and move along nerve fibers toward the skin. Although children can get zoster, it is more common in people over the age 50. Illness, trauma and stress may also trigger a zoster attack.
The first symptom of zoster is burning pain, tingling or extreme sensitivity in one area of the skin usually limited to one side of the body. This may be present for one to three days before a red rash appears at that site. There may also be fever or headache. The rash soon turns into groups of blisters that look a lot like chicken pox. The blisters generally last for two to three weeks. The blisters start out clear but then pus or dark blood collects in the blisters before they crust over (scab) and begin to disappear. The pain may last longer. It is unusual but possible to have pain without blisters or blisters without pain.
The virus that causes zoster can only be passed on to others who have not had chicken pox and then they will develop chicken pox, not zoster. Zoster is much less contagious than chicken pox. Persons with zoster can only transmit the virus if blisters are broken. Newborns or those with decreased immunity are at the highest risk for contracting chicken pox from someone who has zoster. Patients with zoster rarely require hospitalization.
