Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints as well as reviewed the attached photograph.
You seem to be having shingles as I can appreciate few blisters and excoriations along with redness.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take antiviral medication like tablet valciclovir 1 gram thrice daily for 7-10 days.
For pain you can take continue with tablet advil or tablet tramadol.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Dr Asmeet
