Rash on belly

 The other day I noticed a small cluster of red skin on my belly, then it turned into very small red bumps, its a very small patch like one inch wide maybe, and today It looks like the red bumps may be turning into a very small blister like rash. Has anyone else had a  rash like this? I have never had a rash and this is freaking me out especially with it being on my belly. I am def. calling my doctor tomorrow!

    It sounds like eczema to me as well.  I have had it at a couple points in my life, but it was only in the dead of winter and was very minor.  Currently, I have two patches on my face and another one on my side. It is really itchy and uncomfortable. If you scratch (which you shouldn't do), the little bumps will break open and ooze a bit and the rash spreads. No fun.  I am currently using OTC hydrocortizone cream at per my doc's recommendation but I'd definitely call your doctor to see what they want you to do.  Regardless, try not to worry, b/c this isn't anything to be concerned about at all; it's just uncomfortable.

    I had a small cluster of what looked like hives and then turned into small blisters. It is very uncomfortable and is painful and burns. I saw my doctor today and was diagnosed with Shingles...definately contact your doctor. I am on anti-viral medications, pain meds, and have a steriod in case it does not go away. I really do not want to take the steriod so I am going to wait a few days.
