An itchy rash in those places could be chicken pox, unless you are immune. Anyway, it would probably be a good idea to show this to a doctor as it could be anything. Hope you are OK

DH had a rash like that and it turned out it was shingles.

It went from the front of his neck, behind one ear and up into his hair. It started being itchy/annoying, then went hot and tingly, then became painful.

It might be worth your ehile getting it looked at by your GP.
