A physician or dermatologist would have to examine you to be certain of the diagnosis. Since this could be an outbreak of shingles I strongly recommend that you get examined and receive proper treatment for this eruption.

My daughter has red itchy bumps on her arms and feet. What could be the cause? She was diagnosed with a staph infection but the bumps persist. Bed bugs were mentioned but she is the only person being bitten. Could this be an allergic reaction to something
