Possible herpes : I would seek the opinoin of a dermatologist. If they started as small blisters , a herpes virus is a consideration. There are different types, hsv 1, more commonly known as a fever blister virus can occur anywhere on the body. Herpes zoster, or shingles can start out as a cluster and spread in a linear or dermatonal fashion. Both can be treated with an oral antiviral agent. Lana long, M.D.
