Hi, we're assuming you mean Ramsay Hunt syndrome? We cannot be sure what you are describing, you would need to be seen by a relevant health professional who can diagnose knowing all your medical history. It could be post VZV neuralgia which should be treatable with standard neuropathic pain medications prescribed by your GP, failing that you could ask your GP for a referral to a specialised pain management team. We hope this information is of some help to you.
