General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From the history of a cluster of bumps and being too much painful, it appears to me that these could be some kind of viral infection like a Herpes zoster infection , which affects the nerves as well deeper inside giving rise to such painful blisters along the neural pathways. If I were your doctor, I would advise you to get her lesions assessed by a dermatologist in your area who might prescribe her with some anti inflammatory and anti viral drugs, which would relieve her of the symptoms.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
