What Do Red Bumps On The Lower Back Indicate?
I have a small cluster of red bumps - maybe 4-6 - on the lower right side of my back. They are tender to touch. The right side of my neck is also stiff. I contacted my doctors office and someone is supposed to contact me in the afternoon tomorrow, but co-workers have suggested that it resembles shingles and I didn t know if I should try to be seen somewhere tonight for early identification and treatment. Not sure if that would make a difference or not.

hi
herpes is usually a cluster of rash or eruption in a single dermatome(single nerve supplied area).
Severe pain full even after the bumps are gone due to the open nerve endings.
Acyclovir cream can be applied with some analgesic tablets.However needs clinically examined for such persisting problem.
please be calm and do consult
also take care that it might infect in family as well
hope this helps
