I have recently noticed what appear to be small pimples (that have not gotten bigger over a week) on my husbands back and on my stomach and face, It looks like some of the pimples on my husbands back have started to look a little black where the normal white tip is (not like a normal “blackhead” though) and he says they itch just a little. We are in a faithful relationship and I dont suspect this to be anything STD related, he brother had shingles several months back. I am wondering if that is it. I am not noticing any pain though. just mild itching. could this be eczema, shingles or something more serious?

Dr. Joshua’s Answer:
It’s not shingles. Doesn’t indeed sound like any STD either. With no picture, I’m at a loss here, but I don’t think they’re anything serious. Bed bug bites? See the family doctor if the problem persists.Â
