Blisters on forehead: what if it's..

RituVRituV member
in 3rd Trimester
What I thought was a harmless bug bite might actually be a viral infection. I am really scared. It could be chicken pox (well, I had that already when I was 11, so if reactivated, it would be shingles) or herpes simplex..does any fellow bumpie here have some advice/experiences to share which would make my sanity come back between now and when I see my doctor (tomorrow at noon)? I'm 32 weeks pregnant..Thanks..Confused

    chicken pox start on the belly most times, shingles will follow your spine from what I have been told. I don't know about the rest. GL at the doctor tomorrow!

    i've never heard or HSV starting on the forehead, unless somebody with a cold sore kissed you there. is it painful? it sould be staph, which is usually not a huge deal.

    Thanks, ladies. So it turns out that it's reactivated chicken pox = shingles. Hurts like heck. Gonna take antibiotic. Praying it'll be alright. Thanks and best wishes, R Geeked
