Hello sir,
welcome to healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understood your complain.
It seems you are suffering from herpes zoster. it is a viral disease characterized by red colored lesions , associated with burning/pain.
these are mostly fluid filled.
I will like to know whether your lesions are painful or ass with burning sensation?
Are you diabetic?
Kindly reply to my questions so that i can help you further.
