According to Medicine.net "Although rashes are seldom dangerous, self-diagnosis is not usually a good idea. Proper evaluation of a skin rash requires a visit to a doctor or other healthcare professional."
In contrast, Medlineplus suggest some tips on how to care for your rash and suggests that "Most simple rashes will improve with gentle skin care and avoiding irritating substances." (See their site for more care tips)
However, they suggest that you call 911 if:
* You are short of breath, your throat is tight, or your face is swollen
* Your child has a purple rash that looks like a bruise
and call your health care provider if:
* You have joint pain, fever, or a sore throat
* You have streaks of redness, swelling, or very tender areas as these may indicate an infection
* You are taking a new medication -- DO NOT change or stop any of your medications without talking to your doctor
* You may have a tick bite
* Home treatment doesn't work, or your symptoms get worse

If it's an allergic reaction, it seems like it would be to something on your shirt because it's only on your upper body. Did you buy a new shirt and wear it before you washed it? Did you wash it in different detergent than normal?
Shingles are normally caused by stress, so if you are under severe stress, that might be the cause.
I would take a cold shower and gently wash the area with a mild soap. See if that helps. You could always try a little Benedryl on a small part of the affected area to see if that soothes it. If it doesn't go away after a few hours after that, I would go see a doctor.
Hope you feel better.

Did you happen to change laundry detergents or underarm deoderant recently? If so, it could be an allergic reaction.
Or have you been working out or do anything else that would cause you to sweat a lot - then it could just be a heat rash.
You should definitely see a doctor about it though in case it is something worse.

I would go see a doctor ASAP about this, especially since it is so wide spread. If it isn't hives, it could be shingles, which can be very dangerous if left untreated. It can also lead to chicken pox and be contagious to anyone you come in contact with.
