Brief Answer:
could be shingles/insect bite/furuncles

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
from the description, I could think of three possibilities
Herpes zoster
insect bite
multiple furuncles.

Usually these three have some degree of associated pain or burning sensation
I would request that you resend a better quality pic where I can see the lesions clearly, the uploaded pic has a poor resolution and hence lesions are not appreciable.
hoping to hear from you soon.
Take care
