Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.

From your description it looks like you might be having Herpes zoster, a viral skin rash but its too difficult to say anything specific in absence of clinical examination. Therefore for accurate diagnosis, I would suggest you to upload some good clinical photo to me.
You can also mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY with the subject titled 'Attn : Dr Hardik Pitroda'.

Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
