General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Allergic reaction or bacterial skin infections are possibilities. If you send a picture of the lesions then it will be more helpful in identifying. Chicken pox also give same presentation. If it is fluid filled bumps then it can be most likely due to chicken pox. Taking antihistamines like cetirizine (zyrtec) and taking a short course of antibiotics like Azithromycine for 3 to 5 days will be helpful. You can apply brilliant green or calamine lotion on the lesions.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
