    Not sure what's causing it but it might be a good to see the dr to rule out a bacterial infection (eg staph).

    BUT: try soaking in a bath with 1-2 cups of Epsom salts. This is incredibly good for acne, rashes, even hives (which is what I used it for last week with miracle results).

    Could it be an allergic reaction - have you changed soaps or shampoo?

    I hope the bath gives you some relief - it might still be worth seeing the Dr, given the distribution. If they are really sore to touch it might even be something like shingles - seeing the Dr earlier rather than later could give you some antiviral options. Hope it's not that, and just some random outbreak.
