Hello,
As per my clinical experience, explained skin eruptions with pain and numbness at areas may indicate emergence of previous herpes infection (as there is skin lesion before 1 year), which may have been located in ganglia of thorax.
I would like to recommend a skin specialist opinion for this issue without any delay for best possible management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
