Anesthesiologist 's  Response
It's most probably a herpes lesion. Many a times post herpes infection, (which occurs pretty commonly during fevers) the virus gets lodged in the nerve plexus es. The distribution of lesion that you are speaking about may point to the localisation of the virus in your brachial plexus. However to confirm it we need to know

1.a history of herpes infection.
2. A repeated similar event.
