Suggest Treatment For Bumps On The Armpit

yesterday in the morning I noticed a red, slightly painful bump in my armpit. over the day it got more painful. there were also a couple non painful bumps on my breast. I thought it was a lymph node, and when I woke up this morning it was more painful. it subsided throughout the day. around 4 pm I noticed another on my bum, also painful and quite large. it s now 10 pm and there is one more painful one on my arm and many painless smaller bumps all over. what s going on?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi, it could be HERPES ZOSTER, you should see a doctor. HERPES ZOSTER is presented as multiple bumps and vesicles (smaller blisters), that follow the path of a cutaneous sensory nerve. As you say, it started in the breast and then spread to your arm. I hope I've helped.
