The correct answer is "Grouped vesicles in linear patches along a dermatome."

Further Explanation:

When the red rash is grouped together in linear patches along a dermatome this is consistent with herpes zoster. This is more commonly known as "shingles." A person who has had chickenpox or the vaccine for chickenpox is at a higher risk of getting herpes zoster. There is a vaccine for the shingles.

Patients are usually given Acyclovir to stop the disease but it must be given within 24 hours of the outbreak. If not given in the first 24 hours, the outbreak can last up to 3 weeks, bur mild cases can be resolved in days.
