hi you have pain in upper chest and (R) arm with dime sized rd spots with burning sensation. With symptoms my diagnosis would be Herpes Zoster infection in one nerve root. Apply Gention violet on the red spots, discard /boil all clothes .Taking Acyclovir will reduce your symptoms and help in faster healing.This is an contagious disease and avoid coming in contact with another person for some time .
