What Causes Small Bumps On The Back After Taking A Steam Bath?
I have a bad case of the flu. I have been in bed three straight days. I am starting to feel a little better however a took a steam today in my home steam room and afterwards I noticed hundred of pimple type bumps on ,y back. I have never had this before. Could I possibly have chickenpox. The bumps are only on my back. I was in the US Coast Guard and I thought I was immunized against just about everything? I m actually starting to feel much better but the bumps are still present and are rather itchy.

Hello,
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
