Need to find cause ,Kindly provide details

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

I have seen the attached picture .

You have few scattered and discrete lesions .Such lesions could be suggestive of an allergic response or even a viral infection .
Please tell if the lesions are present only on one side or are they bilateral .
Do you notice any fluid filled blisters ?
Any associated pain or discomfort?
I need to know the above details since the lesions might be due to shingles ,so we need to look into the exact cause .
Also if possible ,provide some better close resolution images of the rash .
