hi. I have read your question and would like to know whether you have any fluid filled lesions.

as you have mentioned all your lesions are on right side it can very well be herpes zoster. herpes zoster is a viral infection which presents with fluid filled lesions over one side of the body. it's usually associated with pain.

please see a local dermatologist to have a confirmatory diagnosis or get back to us with these two answers:
1. whether there are fluid filled lesions.
2. do you have pain in the area or any other uncomfortable sensation.

hope this helps. thanks.
