What Could Be The Reason For Having Headaches, Bumps On My Shaft, Fever, Chills And Abdominal Pain?
Hello yeah I was just curious, I have about 4 bumps in different spots on my shaft. The bumps were scratched and are now scabbed over. I was looking at them today and noticed a clear blister, which popped fairly easy with no pain. I am having a fever with chills and abdominal pain. I also have body cramps and a severe headache. I continually wake up gasping for air, I am so confused.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
The problems that you have mentioned may be related to each other or may be due to different reasons.
The bumps on the shaft which scabbed and painless blister that popped up suggests a primary skin problem.
Primary skin problem is more likely if there is history of similar blistering at other sites of the body.
Fever with chills is seen in bacterial infections.
The infections of the skin lesions can be a cause of fever with chills.
However, relevant investigations are required to find out the cause of infection.
Abdominal pain, body cramps and headache can be the manifestation of infectious process in the body.
Consult your doctor for clinical examination, relevant investigations and thus management.
Thanks and take care
