What Causes Back And Rib Lumps With Itching?
i have little red bumps on my lower back and sides of my ribs. They itch really badly, and im wondering if i have chicken pox. I swam in a hottub at a hotel and they just started to appear tuesday evening. They are spreading but slowly and i have had chicken pox before. In fact ive had them about 3 times.

hi.
based from your description alone, it could possibly be a herpes zoster infection, with dermatomal distribution. it is best if you consult with your doctor for medical and physical evaluation, and for confirmation. other diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
