Pretty sure that's not a bug bite.
That's far too localized to be herpes zoster. What's more the original poster gave no information as to the previous chicken pox status of the woman-

"Shingles" typically attacks several decades after a pox attack like chicken pox. I had chicken pox when I was 7, and they were all over my body. I was sick for a week, out of school for a week, and the biggest problem for me was that one of the "pox" was on my penis.

Of course, this typically happens. I didn't know that, and of course I was totally concerned!

It looks like poison ivy to me.
