Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I need to know how many days you have these red blisters and please could you send me an attached picture of them to define better the diagnosis. Based on your data I think probably these could be elements of a herpes zoster but I need a picture to define better.


I hope my answer helps you.

Regards.
