spots? rash? something else?

[fluffles]

generally i don't really get spots, obviously the occassional one like anybody but i don't have 'problem skin'...

but suddenly i have a massive crop of spots all over one side of my neck (just one side). what on earth can this be?

they're all over the right hand side of my neck, behind my right ear, around my hairline on the right.... none on the left, or my face or anywhere else.

help! what can i do? i've treated them once with 'simple' spot treatment but not sure if this is the best thing to do.

Allergic reaction? What are the spots like?

the spots are quite zit-like.. not itchy, a bit tender, no heads, but they are red and raised.

shingles? I think this needs ruling out as if it is, you need to start anti virals within as short a time as possible.

oh shit! i hope not - i thought shingles was excruciatingly painful??? this isn't... but am going to google a bit...

Bedbug bites? They are usually in a line, around the face and neck as they are attracted by our breathing. Check under your mattress, and have a google, x

I'm not sure, I think it can start off not too bad and then get painful iyswim. Not sure...sorry, I hope it isn't x
