Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is caused by the pinched / entrapped sensory nerve supplying this are.
This is a very rare area to get affected.
This has just started yesterday- no rash, redness or bumps.
Wait and watch for a few day for a typical rash of herpes although this is the rarest area to get affected.
Well, the treatment is going to be the same.
Please consult your Doctor / preferably Neurologist- He would examine and give you some sort of nerve sedative medicines ranging from amitryptiline to gabapentin- You need a prescription for such medicines.
