Hi Dear
Welcome to the board of Health care magic.
Dear friend the way you have described the symptoms for me it appears to be a case of Herpes Zoster. Nothing to worry you will be prescribed some symptomatic drugs like painkiller, soothing agents locally etc.
And it may take some weeks to heal because this a viral infection . It will complete its course
You please have a consultation with Dermatologist.
Hope your query is answered.
Thanks
