What Is The Treatment For Rash On The Rib With Bumps?
Hi, I have noticed a small rash about 1" 1/2 on my rib cage. It didn't bother me or have any pain, but I itched it and it burned for a short period. There's maybe two or three little bumps on it that are barely rised from the skin. What could this be?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to shingles.
I suggest using Acyclovir cream for local application.
I also suggest using Acyclovir tablets three times a day.
I recommend using antihistamines such as Cetirizine daily to treat the itching.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
