Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions.
From the history and description, you have provided I can two differential diagnoses: Herpes Zoster and Insect bite dermatitis but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
