Hi & Welcome to HCM.
You seem to be suffering from Herpes zoster ('Shingles').
Most cases of shingles clear up within 2-3 weeks
There’s no cure for shingles, but the antiviral medication like Acyclovir or Valcyclovir and anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen may be prescribed to ease symptoms and shorten the length of the infection.
Consult your GP for further evaluation and the treatment.
Best wishes.
