I have little red bumps that itch and are painful to touch in my cleavage. What might that be? What should i do? When i first noticed i was in the shower and i just itched and it started to hurt. I waited two days and it turned into a bunch of little red bumps that hurt.

Hi,

It may be shingles also called herpes zoster most probably. It is a viral skin disease caused by VZV virus. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend antihistaminics,antiviral and steroid tablets in proper doses. And also advise to apply silver sulfadiazine cream on the lesions. The disease may take two weeks to two months for the recovery. Take rest for few weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
