I feel very embrassed and cannot take my shirt off and can't even go for swimming ...
Avatar m tn Yesterday, while at work it felts sore, so I went to the bathroom to take a look. It turns out I now have several of these bumps on the front of my waist (around where my belt line is) and little black dots that almost look like blackheads. Last night I put rubbing alcohol on one of them and it immediately burst open. Today, they are sore and itch. I also suffer from keloid scars on my chest and back because of severe acne in my junior high days.
Avatar n tn Recently, about 1 week ago, he developed a rash-like area on his left side, just above his waist line. The area is approx. 3 cm around, red, WAS yellowish and crusty, now scabbed. Another area near to it measures 3 mm x 1cm long. There has been no drainage, no itching, just occasional sharp pain. I work in long term care, so I have saw Shingles, and this does not look like Shingles.
Avatar n tn In particular, eczema is a type of inflammatory skin condition and may present as rough and dry spot on the skin on one part of the body to raw and bleeding patches of skin in various spots on the body. On adults, eczema usually occurs on the neck and face, as well as inside the crook of the elbow, ankle and knee. If it persists, have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management. Direct clinical examination is important to determine the diagnosis. Take care and keep us posted.
889262 tn?1241087326 thanks i will look into it although now i am noticing the same little red bumps on my daughters face and on her waist line. not sure is this is coincidence or something catchy.
Avatar n tn If so that same medication will help for the herpes on the finger if indeed that is what is going on. did you have eczema flaring up on your hands/fingers recently? Since you are allergic to bandaids - keep the finger covered with something else like a guaze pad and some non-latex tape.
Avatar n tn once i even went to the emergency room in the middle of the night because i thought my body was on fire the itching was that bad. this time around the bumps are also on my knees and around my waist. the bumps are very uncomfortable and don't look good at all. but luckily i don't have any bleeding or discharge. plssss help any suggestions would help.
Avatar n tn However, the appearance of eczema varies from person to person and varies according to the specific type of eczema. Sometimes, eczema may lead to blisters and oozing lesions, but eczema can also result in dry and scaly skin. Repeated scratching may lead to thickened, crusty skin. To confirm if it is still eczema, complete history and physical examination of the skin is important.
Avatar f tn Hello, From the symptoms it can be hives or scabies. Eczema presents as dry, itchy patches rather than bumps. Scabies 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. For exact diagnosis, I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
Avatar f tn A dermatologist diagnosed it as eczema on the lips. Perscribed me to a steroid cream to apply 2 times a day. It has helped but has not fixed the problem. I've been extremely stressed out about this condition, thinking that it can still be something much worse than just eczema, even after testing negative at my primary care physician. Every morning I seem to have a very dry mouth, my hands have been a little shaky, dandruff has been worse than before. Any help is really appreciated.
Avatar m tn i went to the doc and she told me it was eczema...but there were other times i had it even on my waist line...it completely itched and i was scratching so much it just spread fast and i had the bumps again...as of now im itching all over my body, and when i scratch myself on a specific spot, a bumb appears! but then it goes away in a matter of 5- 10 mins....i really need help with this, i dont know if allergies can do this..also i get alot of sore throats.
Avatar m tn Just recently (the last month) I have had what appears to be folliculitis (based on symptoms I have read about) on my arms, legs, thighs, buttocks, and underneath my arms spreading all the way to my waist. This condition itches like crazy and I have scratched myself until I have bled. I have also had an unusual amount of acne on my face, neck and shoulders...some very hard, large and without heads. Most are painful and won't pop when I try to squeeze them.
Avatar m tn At some point, redness started to appear on the sides of my penis (not on or near the tip). It was never uncomfortable (burning, itching, etc), nor accompanied by any other physical signs. Now, about two weeks later, the left side of my scrotum and adjacent inner thigh is red and itchy, feeling and looking very much like jock-itch. My penis itself has also been dry lately, with the skin occasionally becoming flaky. Could this be a sign of an STD? Eczema? Maybe a yeast infection?
689528 tn?1364135841 Through that time I went to a dermatologist and she said I have eczema and gave me another cream. That was back in July or so and I still get this inflamed rash. It's not overly itchy and when I first had it...I did look like shingles. (little blister like clusters). Now it's more beneath my skin...it looks dry at times and gets flakey! What is going on?
601156 tn?1229285825 It is possible for eczema or psoriasis to show up...you should look that up I read that for females on a web page but it most likely can show up on males too. The female page was: http://www.obgyn.net/displayarticle.asp?page=/women/articles/indman/indman_gynpain2 I hope that helps, I'm in the situation that you are, only after the 3 month time mine came back negative, but I'm still having odd pain there so I'm looking at other things that it could be.
Avatar f tn Its located above the pubic region the upper right part where the underwear band wraps around the waist. It healed I suppose but left a slight brown pigment where it had been and stayed that way... I went to the doctor and didn't think it was anything to be concerned about but 3 months later, it came back at the same exact spot as if it never really went away.
6600863 tn?1382861776 I have been getting red itchy bumps mainly on my legs, ankles, tops of my feet, and occasionally around my waist. They itch terribly and eventually turn into scabs that take forever to heal? What could it be????
Avatar n tn My issue now, however, is that the head of my penis seems to always be dry and irritated on a pretty frequent basis (2-3x a week). I wake up with dry flaky penis tip skin that goes away after my morning shower and gentle scrub. I'm not using soap on the area, just lukewarm warm water and I do not use lotion to masterbate, though I do use a silicon based lubricant.
Avatar n tn Forget to mention that the dark pigmentations are only on the left leg and below the waist.
Avatar m tn Over the past two weeks or so, I have noticed a spotty, dry/scaly rash developing on my uppper/inner thighs. It also spread a bit to my waist below the belt. I had feared it may be herpes, but there are no signs of rash or symptoms on or around my penis or scrotum. The rash is pink/red in color, not raised, did not blister, nor ulcer - there has been no pain, just some occasional itching.
Avatar m tn That night a rash broke out on my waist line and the crease where the leg joins the hip. Same night I also had a dull painful ache along the left side of my penis and left testicle Day 6: Mid day the ulcer/abrasion had developed a white crust. The nurse at the local health clinic did not think I had herpes. She said the ulcer/abrasion was an abrasion and the rash was a fungus.
Avatar m tn s condition include possible infection or skin conditions such as eczema, which is an inflammation of the epidermis. Eczema presents with dryness and recurring skin rashes that may itch and become dry. Tinea versicolor, on the other hand, is a common chronic, noninflammatory and usually symptomless disorder. It is characterized by the occurrence of multiple patches of all sizes and shapes, and varying in pigmentation, from pale, dark tan, or pink with a reddish undertone that can darken..
Avatar n tn I have had a extremely itchy rash mostly on my torso (below my breasts, around my waist, armpits, inside of my elbows, behind my knees, etc.) for a few weeks now. There is no rash on my legs. I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and he said it was due to detergent. I took all of the steroids (10mg) he prescribed and it subsided. Today, it is back and very itchy! What should I do next? Is there something I can try OTC to get rid of this? I tried Cortizone creams, etc.
Avatar n tn Hi, i wrote that question about the rash on my thigh that i had since i was young, and u gave me some advice, i have to say it was very helpful, but the thing is that i don't have eczema, i never had it nor any other medical illnesses but the usual (cold, flu) etc, rarely..
Avatar m tn Clotrimizole made rash burn and on 5th day seemed to spread to my hands. Started having burning sensations around waist and groin. Went to doctor on 5th day and was told jock itch or yeast infection, given creams and sent home, 7th day hands are getting red on palms and sweating terribly, go to doctor again was told its guilt and nerves.
