Have Cough And Red Bumps Started Appearing All Over Body. What Could This Be?
Hi, over the past few days I have had a chesty cough but I have also started to notice small red bumps appearing on my body. These bumps are the size of a pen nib and are located on my arms, shoulders and a few on my lower legs and stomach . I have had chickenpox as a child and have also had shingles . I was just wondering what these could be and if it could be anything transmittable to others?

hello, your rash needs to be seen by a dermatologist precisely know the problem.it may not be chicken pox, since re-infection is rare.one probability is an allergy of he blood vessels of the skin, for which a skin biopsy and other investigations are required.
