What Causes Red Blisters Around The Waist?
I have had a red, burning and blisters starting on my face, and then around my waist. Sometimes a sharp nerve pain. The waist has eased up but then it showed up on my upper arm and under that arm. A biopsy was taken and was told it is eczema. Could this be shingles?

Hello,
Red blisters around the waist could be shingles. You should give a detailed history to your treating doctor. Get tests for STD done & get evaluated. You may need antibiotics & antivirals. Since your biopsy report says it is eczema, you should take the antibiotics as prescribed, apply cortico-steroid creams, antihistamines.
Abstain from sex, stay away from addictions if any. Take home made food & vitamin supplements B12,C, E & food rich in Amino Acid Lysine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
