General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
It seems that there might be having super added bacterial infection on affected part.
Herpes Zoster is a viral infection but as you are having bacterial infection might require proper antibiotic medicine with proper dosage and time.
After full course you will be alright.
Apply antibiotic cream or triple action cream locally.
Ok and take care.
