What Causes Painful Sores In Stomach Arms & Back ?

47 year old, stomach is sore like a muscle, and red sores under right arm and upper chest, and back. They are the size of a dime and just red, not blistered. No fever. The burning of the bumps feel like acid got on the skin, it burns. Plus, the right arm has sore muscle pain. Any ideas as to what it could be??

hi you have pain in upper chest and (R) arm with dime sized rd spots with burning sensation. With symptoms my diagnosis would be Herpes Zoster infection in one nerve root. Apply Gention violet on the red spots, discard /boil all clothes .Taking Acyclovir will reduce your symptoms and help in faster healing.This is an contagious disease and avoid coming in contact with another person for some time .
