General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
It seems that the rash could possibly be due to Dermatomal Herpes zoster which often occurs when the immune system goes down.
You may need to visit a physician at the earliest who will start you on a medication that is called as Acyclovir 800 mg.
Hope this helps.
