Hello
I would be pleased to answer your question .

From what you have mentioned it looks very much like early herpes zoster. It is very important that you should get yourself clinically examined .
It would be important to rule out other infections like tuberculosis lymphadenopathy , bacterial furunculosis .
Do book an appointment with the Dermatologist or GP to discuss the above .

Thanks and take care
