Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It may be neuralgia. Did you have herpes zoster, a common viral disease? It is a common cause leading to post herpetic neuralgia. If not, then the there may some other cause or without cause. You consult dermatologist or neurologist for firm diagnosis. Gabapentin or pregabalin in proper dose might improve the condition. Relax and avoid stress and worries. After consulting proper doctor you may reach to some diagnosis and then perfect treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
