Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
History given by you suggests herpes zoster. It is a viral infection caused by VZV virus. The lesions may be vesicular and eroded. And you may be having severe burning pain. Regarding duration of healing, I would say that the lesions might take at least 4 to 6 weeks to heal. So, forget your plans and take rest for 4 weeks with perfect treatment from expert dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
