Hi,

All your symptoms are suggestive of a viral infection called Herpes zoster since you had what we call as prodromal symptoms of feeling fever, sweating before the classical pustular rather it may be vesicular rash on forearm.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your Doctor as soon as possible so that a proper clinical diagnosis can be done to get started on an appropriate management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
