Skin lesions are difficult to treat without actually seeing them. I will be more than happy if you add some pictures of the lesions too.

Prophylacticlly apply Eucerin Eczema relief ointment available over the counter. But it is just a symptomatic relief medication. You need to consult a Dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment, if this is suspected Shingles.

Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.
