Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 15 y.o. daughter started having sudden clusters of itchy bumps on her left arm yesterday morning. Since that time, there have been random spots on her upper back, a few on her lower back, legs, neck, and face. I took her to her primary care physician yesterday and they had no idea what it was. She even broke out in 5 new spots just while we were sitting in the dr. s office! They have referred us to a dermatologist, but that apt is not until next week. We ruled out flea bites, bed bugs, and other insect bites. The randomness is what is causing us to scratch our heads.
From your description, it seems those bumps are varicella zoster infection or chicken pox. In that probability Antivirals along with lots of fluids and systemic treatment with anti-allergics would be useful. From Your description nothing more is apparent.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashish Ranjan, General & Family Physician
