Hi i think the painful red bumps can be due to thrombophlebitis.i think there was demage to the nerve underneath hence loss of sensation.openvthe area and see for any nerve demage.use a antibiotic twice daily for five days .chymoral forte and combiflame twice daily and application of calamine lotion over the rash area.if there is itching go for atarax 25 mg at night
