Unknown pustules

What would pimples that look similar to chicken poks that are located bilaterally both under forarms and hands and one on each anckle two on my head and two on my left shoulder blade. They are very icthy and are filled with puss. in sun light they look purpleish with a darker center. I have had chicken poks as a kid. Today will be the 4th day of this ordeal. and it seems to have stopped spreading.
This came about after an international flight out of miami.

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be eosinophilic pustular folliculitis, pustular psoriasis or impetigo. Diagnosis can be confirmed after culture sensitivity of the pus from the bumps. I sincerely advice you to consult a dermatologist and get it evaluated.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
