Hi. Greetings. How long had the rash been. Is there any pain associated ? I guess you must first see a qualified dermatologist near you to rule out herpes zoster. Some insect bites also can look like this. Do not ignore. You could answer the queries, send further snaps on follow up messaging . warm regards Dr Govind Suresh Mittal.
