Brief Answer: Skin problem Detailed Answer: Hi dear, I can sure you that the problem you are experiencing now has nothing to do with your spine problem.It seems to be a dermatologic problem, nothing to worry anyway.Any flu situations these day? You should be careful to see their progress these days, if those small blisters rise in number it can be herpes zoster and acyclovir need to be started. Wish you all the best Best regards Dr Eris Ranxha
