Is this a cold sore on my leg? Pic incl

Hello, for the past few years I have a patch on the back of my leg (just above the knee). It’s starts out a bit tender - like if something had been rubbing that patch of skin. Then it’s red with small raised blisters. It’s itches around the patch. Then the blisters burst and it’s crusty.

it’s just come up again but has moved slightly over from previous out breaks (can see from where previous scar is).

Can you get cold sores on your legs? I do suffer from cold sores have all my life but the patch on the leg only started after I had a reaction to my first covid jab.

I have just got over a bad bout of cold sores on my lips and nose. Have asked family about it and they say it doesn’t look like shingles. Any ideas what it is? Thanks
