The rash started with one spot looking like a bug bite about 5 days ago and has spread so I don't think its hives. I have some dermatitis on my face only thus the cream I applied. The rash has spread now with about 8 red spots which with inspection some have white heads. The area under the skin has become sore which concerns me. The lowest red area has what seems to be a knot forming below the skin.
Brief Answer:
Will need picture for further comments.

Hi,
Thanks for the follow-up.
This kind of dermatological rashes,a doctor needs to inspect at the lesion in order to make a diagnosis.
From description, it will be difficult to arrive at some conclusion.So,I have asked to take clinical picture and upload as there is a option available to send the reports on the right side of query page.
Now,considering sore skin it might be cellulitis also but need to get examined once.
It would be advisable to see some local doctor or GP who will inspect it and prescribe accordingly.
Kindly get back to me with clinical photo.
