Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcare magic

I have reviewed the attached photographs and according to me it seems to be herpesvirus infection.

I need to ask you few questions regarding this:

Are these bumps fluid filled blisters?

Are they present on one side of the midline only or on both the sides?

Are you having pain and burning on these lesions?

Did you have fever, bodyaches and joint pains associated with this rash?

Is your partner having history of fluid filled blisters in the past?

Kindly revert back with the answers.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
