Whats The Medication For Sores On Abdominal Area?
My granddaughter has about 5 sores on her adbominal area, they are various sizes and look like big round red welts, except the bigger ones have very small pus bubbles on top, and they are very sore to the touch, but do not itch, should she be taken to the emergency room?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
It appears to me that your grand daughter is suffering from Herpes Zoster infection (Most probably as per your description) and definitely needs urgent attention of a dermatologist. She needs to be prescribed antiviral to ward off the infection. Kindly consult a doctor at the earliest as the condition can be pretty painful with long term complication of Post-herpetic neuralgia. (Pain)
