Posted on Wed, 31 Dec 2014
Question: I have several bumps that appeared on my forehead over the last 2 days. From small to medium to larger. Hard and painful. I have also gotten a fever, chills and really bad body aches over this same time. I am now thinking spider bites as I can see holes and we stayed in a hotel Friday night

Brief Answer:
Systemic symptoms and pcitures are supportive of "Chicken Pox"

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Welcome again and thanks for posting your pictures.

After analyzing the pictures with diligence and correlating with your history I can make out that you have got viral rash. It is not related to spider bite.

The typical of the eruptions and the systemic symptoms of fever, body ache and chills are supportive of "Chicken pox".

I suggest you to meet a family physician immediately and get the most appropriate treatment at the earliest.

In my patients with your kind of problem I generally prescribe Acyclovir or Famcyclovir along with pain killer (analgesics) such as paracetamol as per required dose.

Just take best of nutrition and do not remain empty stomach or fasting as it lowers down the immunity. You must take best nutritious diet as it plays a vital role in immunity.

Do not over strain or take stress as it can also lower down the immunity.

I hope these informations will help you. I will be glad to answer any further queries.

With regards,
