Brief Answer:
Most probably herpes zoster

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HCM...

I read history. You have bright red spots on left side of face below ear extending to neck area up to clavicle. The lesions create discomfort..right? It is difficult to say firmly. But, I feel that most probably it may be herpes zoster. But,for the firm diagnosis,I would like to see the photo of the affected area. So. Kindly post the photo. Then,I can give further advice.

Ok...
