Detailed Answer:
Hi
I saw the picture.
I would like to have some more information.
1.What is the duration of these lesions?
2.Whether they appeared spontaneously or after some food intake?
3.Did you had this type of lesions before?
4.Do you have fever now?
As per the picture,it looks like Folliculitis, infection and inflammation in relation to hair follicle.
It is most commonly caused by bacteria.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Linezolid 600mg twice daily and Anti inflammatory tablet for a week to my patients with similar complaints.
Nothing to worry.
It will come down.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery

Thank you. Lesions appeared 1 day after my son came down with the flu. The picture is from the fist day, when they appeared. The blisters are not painful, not itchy. Linezolid is not available in the United States.
