Brief Answer:
Herpes Zoster

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have seen the picture you have attached.

The lesions appear to be due to Herpes Zoster.

You may have to visit a dermatologist for better management.

Meanwhile you can apply Acyclovir ointment twice daily to prevent its progression.

If the lesions are painful and itchy you can take a dose of Tab Levocet 5mg once in the night for not more then three days.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
