This : This sounds like a possible cellulitis (skin infection). You will need to be examined by a doctor and get treated. Antibiotics will clear this up if it is in fact bacterial in nature, other possibilities are herpetic lesions, allergic reaction, or even bug bites. If the issue has not resolved please seek medical attention. Best of luck and happy new year.

I : I agree with dr. Jackson's possibilities but also believe this could maybe be shingles. If so, prompt medical attention and treatment will help lessen the pain, severity, and duration of shingles. I hope that helps!
