Dermatologist 's  Response
hi...
i doesnt seem to be shingels...u didnt mention duration...
according to the description given by u it seems to be fungal infection with eczematous changes...what u need to do is, instead of just putting anti itch lotion try some antifungal with mild steroid combination twice a day...take some anti allergic tablets like cetrize or desloratidine once daily...
dont worry
