Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest area is commonly affected by the herpes zoster. Herpes zoster virus affect thoracic dermatomes. So lesions are parallel to ribs.
Fluid filled bubbles is another characteristic of herpes zoster.
Ulcers over chest suggest more severe disease.
So you will need acyclovir oral tablets, ointment for local application.
Ice packs application on local chest area is also beneficial.
Wash your clothes thoroughly because herpes spread by contact.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
