Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through the picture and query.
Based on the picture and your symptoms, to me it looks like viral infection, may be chicken pox.
I would have treated you with antiviral after like aciclovir which is effective for shortening the duration of chickenpox symptoms.
For symptomatic relief taken paracetamol three times a day after food. I would have asked you to apply calamine lotion to the affected area, which has got soothing effect.
Drink plenty of fluids and take rest for few days. I would suggest you to see physician for the confirmation of diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
Take care
