Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to Herpes Zoster. I suggest you to use anti viral medications orally. You can also use antiviral creams for local relief. Use antihistamines such as Cetirizine 1 tablet a day to relief the itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
