Herpes zoster
I got this some 4 days back. It's very itchy and also painful. It has occured only on my right leg. And it's quite dark in colour. I consulted to my family doctor and he said that it can be herpes zoster. I also like to add that I am in lactation for a 6 month old baby and i am bit worried to take any medicines .. it would be more helpful if I can get any home remedy to heel this.

Herpes zoster is self limiting. You can apply antiseptic cream if you do not want to take medicines.
