What Do Red Bumps On Stomach Indicate?

I have small red bumps on the left side of my stomach. Most are in a cluster of about 15 of them and there is one a little off to the side. They don t itch. But I just noticed the one off till the side last night while in the shower and then today I noticed more. A few of them look like they have white heads in them I think? Also, they are raised. I am currently on claravis and levoceirizine if that means anything.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern for the red bumps on stomach present on one side. After analyzing your query with best diligence I can that you might have developed herpes zoster or also commonly known as shingles.
The presence of the lesions of small red bumps on one side with sudden appearance indicated a possibility of the same. I suggest you to meet a doctor and get this condition ruled out. Inc case if you are above 45 years then might require a course of oral anti-viral tablets at the earliest. For the mean time you can apply a cream containing mupirocin and take any pain killer tablet such as paracetamol or ibuprofen for immediate relief.
All the best.
