You're right-: It's good to keep a broad list of diagnosis- the red dot that became blistery may be a vesicle or shingles. However, there is much more than one vesicle. Other considerations- bedbug bite, tick bite, contact dermatitis, and others.contact your doctor and discuss your findings- it will help him/her alot.
