Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Red painful spots on chest are commonly seen with herpes zoster infection. Stress and anxiety are common cause for recurrent herpes infection. So better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of skin lesions. You will need acyclovir oral tablet, antihistamine and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Also check for diabetes as herpes infections are common in diabetic. Wash your clothes thoroughly in antiseptic solution. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
