Got Spots Along The Foot. Had A Flu. Little Spots Are Red, Itchy. Tiny White Top. It Is Multiplying. Treatment?

Hi somehow got an spots along my right foot, on my arms, feel them on my face as well.....I had the flue shot yesterday and also had a dog in the house we were babysitting The little spots are red, very itchy and look like they have a tiny white tip on the end of them. My doctor gave me some cream to put on them but it just seems like the spots are multiplying like wild fire. Yesterday they were on my right knee by my ankle and on the inner side of my hands and arms......face etc.....very itchy......

Welcome to HCM.
Red,itchy, lesions suggest some allergic reaction called urticaria but again with white head also indicate infection in it.
You have to start oral nsaid to subside pain,redness.
Levocetrizine,fexofenedin to subside allergic reaction.
Azithromycin,clarithromycin will be helpful to subside infection.
Apply calamine lotion will give you cool effect.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
If it is recurrent than go for cbc,absolute eosinophil count,fbs,ppbs and allergy test to find out cause and allergan.
