Hi

You seem to be suffering from a common condition called post herpetic neuralgia .
This is basically the pain , discomfort or altered sensation that one feels at the site of healed herpes zoster infection.
This sensation tends to persist for quite sometime in some people. There are various treatment options available for this condition.
I would advise you to see your treating doctor and discuss regarding the various medicines according to your problem.
