Pictures requested for proper management

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions your husband is having but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
From the history it seems be either insect bite reaction or herpes zoster but definitive diagnosis rests upon clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
You can mail pictures to YYYY@YYYY

Thanks
