Avatar f tn , so Lupus was ruled out. My family doctor did a chest xray that was normal. The bumps are on my legs, upper arms, elbows, upper legs, buttocks, and here and there other places. Neither doctor has been able to help me. It's driving me nuts!

Avatar n tn For about 6 years I have had constant bumps on my arms and legs. Some are ingrown hairs, others are more like pimples or clogged pores. A few areas are worse than others, but all are fairly bad. I have tried exfoliating and moisturizing regularly (I use Aveeno typically), but nothing seems to work. I do have mildly dry skin, but as I said, I moisturize fairly regularly and strangely do not have any significant problems with acne on my face.
Avatar m tn Within a day or so started getting really itchy bumps on the side of my elbow, back of arms, forearms and inside bicep and somewhat minor irritation under armpits and down rib cage (not so bad along rib cage) I thought it was a heat rash or something so i kinda just let it go for a few days ( scratching of course took place).. as the days went by it seemed to get worse and more red spots and itchiness...
Avatar f tn It is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs. Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
Avatar m tn Sometimes they,itch and I felt some sort of burning sensation a few times during sexual intercourse, also they got some sort of weird smell sometimes. Thus, when penis is erected, and skin is pulled, the under the skin bumps are not visible. Despite the doctors recommendations, I still cant sleep at night knowing that I have something none knows what it is.It even looks like to me that every time new warts appear from one of these tiny ones from under the skin.
Avatar n tn It's definatly not a huge problem unless they're really bothering you. I started to get large bumps behind my ears when I turned 18...and they'd go away and come back a few months later they were actually really gross but the doctor said he could remove it if i wanted..i got one removed and they just came back everywhere else behind my ears. About last year I started getting them under my arms as well..
Avatar m tn I have bumps on arms that are similar to pimples. Can not be popped I've tried scratching them off but nothing really works some around back as well. Dad has it too and his sister does as well mostly on arms.
Avatar f tn A couple weeks ago i got a tiny rash on my wrists and they started iching and moved to my forearms. Then I noticed the bumps on under my leg where the joint is. I used an antihistamine creams to sooth the itch and the rash eventually went away. Then yesterday, the rash came back. It's itchier and only on my forearms. What could be the cause of this itchy rash? I'm thinking it might be that I drank Lemonaid or I also did the dishes and used rubber gloves that go up to my elbows.
Avatar f tn i think on mon night started feeling something unusual like my arms, thighs, palm side of the hand and sole of the feet and face something itchy (not intense), however it was itchy and felt like pin pricks and see small red bumps couple on my forehead, a few on my body and arms and few on my backside of the thighs and legs. never been to doctor in 5-6 years, told him the exactly what happened and doctor prescribed me triamcinolone 0.% cream and told me possibly contact dermatitis.
Avatar n tn well i have white bumps on the high part of my arm that are spreading lower and lower even on my chest and on my legs and even on my neck and under chin too now and i've been to doctors and they said it was keratin thats not escaping from under the skin and they gave me some cream to treat it after about 2 or 3 days of using it i broke out in hives and a rash so i stopped using it and am very confused why its spreading and if you try to pop them white stuff could( be keratin) that looks lik
Avatar n tn Keratosis pilaris (KP, also follicular keratosis) is a very common genetic follicular condition that is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin and hence colloquially referred to as "chicken skin" as well as "meat bumps". It most often appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms. Keratosis pilaris occurs as excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin, accumulates within the hair follicles forming hard plugs (process known as hyperkeratinization).
Avatar f tn Mine broke out really bad in the begining of pregnancy when I was like 8-12 weeks, mine stopped tho at 16 weeks and has been gone since hopefully yours will go away soon too
Avatar n tn for the past couple of months i have been noticing that the pores on my legs seem bigger, with up to 3 hairs growing from one pore, and there is visible hair growing under my skin but i dont get the bumps that are usually associated with ingrown hairs. i tweeze them out but there are just too many so i am hoping there is another way to get rid of these ingrown hairs. can you please suggest something that will help me get rid of my ingrown hairs?
Avatar m tn And also my skin has become pretty itchy on my legs chest and arms
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 n tn The following month, I started getting red bumps on my stomach, thigh,butt and arm. I squeeze some of them and some white stuff came out with blood. I have had cyst under my arms for years. However, I have never experiecnce the soarness that I am having some time it feels like they weigh a ton. How can I get rid of these bumps and the dark spots that they are leaving.
Avatar n tn I have always had these red dots on my skin, mainly on my arms and some on my bum as well. I had them since I was little but not sure what they are. i notice quite a few people have them as well. It also makes my skin not very smooth but instead quite rough sometimes; I am very self conscious of my arms as they make my arm red all over with dots. Does anyone know what they are?
Avatar f tn there is now way its coincidence that bumps that look like warts have spread to my chest, arms, hands and face but have nothing to do with my HPV right?
Avatar n tn Another differential is keratosis pilaris which may present as white pigmentations on the skin especially behind the arms .They may have a sand paper feel on them when you run your hand on the affected surface. This does not sound serious. Just continue to observe this. It is necessary to rule out vitiligo here which is a stark white well demarcated patch of skin usually appearing symmetrically. At this point, I do not think this is your case.
Avatar m tn initially when i had the red bumps, my skin itched, but when the skin turned white my skin didnt itch anymore. the spots turn red if they are in the sun for too long. i am also constantly playing sports and do not go a day without sweating. can anybody tell me what this condition is.
Avatar n tn Prickly heat (miliaria) is an itchy skin rash caused by trapped sweat. It tends to occur on areas of the body where skin touches skin, such as under the breasts, on the inner thighs, and under the arms. Tiny red spots with itching and pricking sensation are the characteristic appearance of this rash. Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime.Use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil.
Avatar f tn I have a rash on both my arms (the part that touches the armpit) that has been evolving for several weeks. Early on, it was large bumps (1-1.5cm x .5cm) on the armpit itself, now it is small bumps on the skin that surrounds the armpit. On the right arm it's about 3.5cm (from the start of armpit up the arm) and about 1.5 cm (on the perimeter of the armpit only on the right side)They have always been reddish, and itchy. I also have a patch of the rash on my chin, under my lower lip.
