Blisters on forehead?

[stresscase101]

I have tiny blisters that form a line on my forehead. It looks like a scratch but when I look close theres like 5,6 little blisters. Its not very painful I just assumed it was just a scratch then went to bed thinking itd go away but it looked worse in the morning. I got the same lesion on my chin a few weeks ago and dismissed it thinking it was razor burn but now I'm worried...could this be shingles?

Thanks for the replies, I used proactive and the blisters cleared up but the line on my forehead remains.

Hello,
These bumps can be due to acne vulgaris, seborrheic hyperplasia or flat warts (although less likely). Just keep you face clean by washing with a mild soap atleast twice a day. Pat it dry and do not rub it. Avoid picking or pressing the acne. You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel once at bedtime.

If the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Shingles never occur both sides of the body and at different times, except in exceptional circumstances like immunodeficiency in which different nerve segments are affected. Your case is most likely a folliculitis and well treated with antibiotic.
