Small cluster of red bumps on back in 2 places. they are itchy and somewhat painful. has had them for three days. folliculitis? calamine lotion?

Bumps unknown: If the bumps are itchy and painful, they could even represent a herpes outbreak. It's extremely difficult to determine what they are by your description. Calamine lotion at best just soothes superficially -- it will do nothing for the underlying reason why the breakouts are happening.
