Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your picture is not available in the link given. You can upload it on report section or send to healthcare magic mentioning attention Dr Nishad BN.
It can be most likely due to shingles(herpes zoster). In such case antiviral drugs like valacyclovir orally and acyclovir cream for local application helps.
Let me know if anything not clear.
