Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to shingles. I suggest using Acyclovir tablets for at least a week. I also suggest using Acyclovir cream for local application. I suggest using Cetirizine to relieve the itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
