   It sounds like Shingles.  Acyclovir might help.  Shingles usually start with a rash and a tingling sensation on the skin.  Later one usually gets severe pain under the skin area where the pimples are.  
     You might want to see a doctor about the rash.  If it is shingles you will need the anti-viral and possibly some pain meds.
      It is called Herpes Zoster and comes from having had chicken pox when you were a kid.

    Wishing you good health

Have you ever had the chicken pox? Use a antihistamine to help with the itching.
