I found 30 red spots on my husband’s back that looked like insect eggs.

The Spots

It was a Sunday — one of the few mornings he didn’t rush out the door. He was still asleep, lying on his stomach, the soft rise and fall of his breathing the only sound in the room.

I noticed his back again — that faint redness near his shoulder blades. I reached for the cream the doctor had prescribed for “mild irritation” and gently lifted his shirt.

And then, I froze.

The redness wasn’t mild anymore. It was spreading — dozens of tiny red dots arranged in disturbing symmetry across his back. At first glance, they looked like small blisters, but under the dim light, I realized something far more unsettling.

They weren’t just spots.
They looked like clusters.
Tiny, round, perfectly grouped — almost like insect eggs burrowed beneath his skin.
