What Causes A Cluster Of Tiny Burning Blisters On Stomach?
I have a small cluster of tiny blisters on my stomach. It appeared a day ago and was not itchy or painful. Today is the 2nd day and it burns just a little. Could this be a spider bite or shingles? I have been at the beach for 4 days and in the sun, pool, ocean etc.

Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM.
Yes, it could be a spider or any other insect bite especially since you were spending time outdoors.
Chance of your blisters being shingles(Herpes Zoster) is less because it comes as a line of fluid filled lesion along your body more or less horizontally on a single side,following a nerve supply(dermatome) and is usually painful
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
