Brief Answer:
A photo of the bumps is needed...
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
1. Can you please send a photo of the sensitive-to-touch bumps across your belly in small groups?
2. Taking into account your personal medical history, might be shingles bumps especially if they are fluid filled appearance.
The photo will help determine whether it is shingles or any other allergic reaction.
If shingles is confirmed, should start treatment with oral and local anti-virals to prevent further spread and shorten the decurse of illness.
3. With regards to monthly subscription, once you are satisfied with this answer, can close this discussion. The monthly subscription allows you to make as many questions as you want during an entire month.
Looking forward to have the requested photo in!
