Rash or Bites?

I have like these little red dots on both sides of my stomach. They look a little like bites as when itched they are bumpy but it also looks a bit like a rash too.
I took a picture but it isn't very clear but you can just see the marks I am on about if you look properly.
Any ideas as to whether they are just bites or is this a rash?
The reason I ask is because I'm worried I might be allergic to these tablets I'm taking but don't know whether I'm just being a hypochondriac.

Oh well, I'll just stop taking them for now, I've lived 18 years with out them, I just don't want to die or anything.
Thanks for having a look though
I've taken them for about a month and a bit. For the first month I was fine, but the brand changed with the second pack despite them having the same name, and that's when I've noticed. Could just be a coincidence though.
I've shown my mum now and she said it is a rash, so has told me to go to the doctors in the morning
Thanks everyone
Aww bless. lol
Sorry, a wee bit late, but yeah it just looks like a rash to me? I wouldn't worry too much...
I have no idea about those tablets!
Fingers crossed eh?
Yeah doctors rarely give you straight answers, I used to wake up with splitting headaches if I slept on a certain ear, thought I had an infection so I went to the doctor and he was like "Urm, I'm not sure, could be anything, I doubt it's serious though."
Cheers mate, then why the fuck do I have to sleep on a certain side to avoid the most painful headaches known to man? Can't I have some damn ear drops or something?? lol
Was there an infection though?
Lol Apparantly not. I was just worried because I was flying shortly after and I've heard horror stories about people flying with ear infections, and how their ear drums burst and blood trickles out their ears!! :yuck: :nervous:
Luckily this didn't happen to me lol, and the headaches stopped after a couple of weeks, wierd... :chin:
Lol I know what you mean though, I don't trust anyone going near my teeth with sharp pointy objects, let alone people that I can't even understand!
My fella went last year and everything was fine in his eyes, no pain, nothing, but they decided to give him a filling and then he had months of agony and in the end had to have it removed. I think they are like those people you see on rogue traders, they just make work for themselves!!
Hmm that sounds normal, I have a tooth where the gum above it hurts a bit when I touch it and brush my teeth, and I went to the dentist not long ago and they said my teeth were fine.
That sounds a bit dodgy what they did to your bloke though! Well at the end of the day, they need your permission to do anything, so yeah just say no. Now the dentists aren't under the NHS, you can just pretend that you can't afford it or something...
Haha goosebumps, lol legendary!
I wonder if I've still got them anywhere...I used to have millions... :chin:
If yes then if could be Shingles, in which case you can't do anything about it now the spots have appeared, it'll remain itchy for a couple of weeks (in my experience) and you'll still get the odd pain in your side for a few weeks after that. I still get odd pains/itches in my side after my shingles at Christmas.
It's ok, thanks anyway
