Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to shingles. A photo would be very helpful through the diagnosis. I recommend using antiviral cream for local application such as Acyclovir cream. I also recommend using antiviral medication in case that the shingles persist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
