Avatar f tn I've had itchy white and/or red bumps on my arms and legs for quite some time now. I first noticed it in late April on my wrists. The tiny white bumps would get irritated and red only upon scratching. I would scratch and it wouldn't help, so I tried some over-the-counter cream that didn't really help. Then I noticed that it had spread to my thighs, legs and even on my feet. It's really bad at night and I have to resist the urge to scratch constantly.
Avatar n tn It also comes out in my back and arms. It is red bumps sometimes welts that swell like insect bites. I have tried various creams and ointments (hydrocortisone, adrenal cortical hormone, anti bacterial topical ointment) and some anti-biotics. Im from Ireland but living in the philippines since July which is when it started. Is it the change of climate? I really need help as the red bumps seem to be getting bigger. Michael.
Avatar f tn Not only is it on the back on my arms, elbows and thighs the bumps are on my buttock and my legs with a lot of bumps present. The itching is also worse and my skin where the bumps are is very red. The bumps usually last the duration or the cruise, 7 days. Once I get back home it slowly goes away. I just think its weird that I have never gotten the bumps as bad as I do nor on my buttock at home as to when I am on a cruise.
1415174 tn?1453243103 I first got an allergy to using a sunscreen. My forehead and cheeks broke out in a face rash that had small red non itcy bumps. That went away but then I have some larger itchy bumps that won't go away. I don't think they are an infection it is related to the allergy. I am only washing my face with Cetaphil and then adding 10% glycerin for some hydration to these spots. Glycerin is a natural substance found in the body and I don't think that is causing a problem.

Avatar n tn I have a rash that is only on my upper arms and the backs of arms close to armpits. Small red bumps, somedays worse than others but always there. I have had it for over a year and a half now. Not painful, not itchy. Just there. What can I do about it? Is there a home remedy or over the counter cream I could try? My family Dr. told me a year ago that it was dry skin and would go away. It never has. Help please! It is nearly summer and I can't wear sleeveless clothing.
1407066 tn?1281290958 (I have since stopped taking it) I took Benadryl and used Hydrochortosone cream on the rash and it went away (mostly) I still had a few bumps on my neck and several on my back after two weeks. Shortly after that I developed a raised bump on my hip and each day I got more and more bumps although these new bumps don't itch. I have them now all over my body, oddly, except for on my face and neck.

Avatar m tn early june- met someone, had intercourse without a condom. a couple days later i noticed some small red bumps on the head and top of the shaft of my penis. i went to my doctor, he advised me it looked like a yeast infection (candidiasis). he advised me to simply get some canestan (clotrimazole) cream and apply twice a day. i also went to the STD clinic to be sure, and they took a urine test (for chlamydia and gonnorhea) and never heard back.
Avatar n tn s keratosis pilaris, a hereditary condition characterized by bumps of keratin protein in the hair openings. Common on the upper arms--keep your eyes open during short sleeve weather and you'll see lots of fellow owners." On me, these are just numerous, tiny bumps in slightly reddish color. They are clustered together. They don't necessarily contain fluids, but sometimes I've seen some white substance from the skin pores of that area.
Avatar f tn I got bruises on my leg like 2 of them in purple colour and than i got them on my arms now a similarity on both days when i got them was i ate red velvet cake so can it be a cause ? Secondly the first one healed up in one week ? Is it something serious?
Avatar m tn i started noticing these red bumps around the crook of my right arm towards the end of winter. i payed no attention to it thinking it would go away. in a week or 2 it eventually turned into white circular/oval white spots. these spots are on both my upper right and left arm and very few spots on my forearms. some of the spots are very tinted and are hard to see. i have had these spots for about 4 months and they have not spread.
Avatar f tn And two-three weeks ago I started noticing some non itchy red rash on my knuckles and arms. Initially appear as flat then develop bumps, at times on my face too. But mostly on arms, it takes about a week to get completely faded away and then appear new one, and this is painful when pressed.I have been stressed out about this for months now. Is this non itchy red bumps (1-2mm in size) that keep appearing some sort of allergies??
Avatar n tn I have some small bumps on my arms that start as small white heads and then 'pop' and become larger open sores. they seem to be spreading on my arms. they are seem to be concentrated on my upper left arm but one appered on my right arm. they don't seem to be healing even after about 3 weeks. also they are puffy on the outside and puss out when touched. any idea what this could be or how i can make them go away?
Avatar f tn I get that on my forearms, and.my inner upper arms. Sides of.my thighs sometimes as well. Been very dry this pregnancy. Lotion multiple times a day. Doesn't make it go away but less itchy and irritating. Known for woman to break out in hives during pregnancy. I'm assuming that's what it is. Its getting better as pregnancy continues. I'm 36 weeks.
