Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

All your symptoms are related to Herpes Zoster. It is a viral disease that affects skin and intercostal nerves.

The diagnosis is determined by a physical examination that is done by a dermatologist.

The treatment of this disease contains painkillers, tranquilizers and antiviral medications such as Oral and Cream Acyclovir.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
