Avatar n tn t really itch but the rash itself kinda burns. it looks somewhat like a heat rash but more red and swollen. the large welts have not gotten any better and the rash is helped with OTC benadryl but stays and gets worse when no benadryl is taken. we went to the urgent care center because about a year ago he had a severe staph infection and was treated pretty easily with an antibiotic injection (rocephin??). at this visit they said it was folliculitis and tinea something (ringworm). the dr.
1415775 tn?1282010100 Hello, From the symptoms it can be contact dermatitis, hives, sweat dermatitis or heat rash. Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Also use cotton clothes and change the clothes twice if there is any increased sweating. Try keeping the skin free of sweat as far as possible. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.
Avatar n tn I have a itchy rash that itches first then welts up in lines then it goes away it usually occurs on my hands from the wrist area to my knuckles, my torso usually back area, and as a strong itchy tingling on the tip of my toes, but is not limited to these certain areas. I have had itching inside my ears, between my fingers, on my legs and feet.
Avatar f tn For the past two months my legs have been insanely itchy. It gets worse at night and there are mosquito like bumps on them. It's JUST my legs. Not my arms, stomach, back or anything else. Just my legs. I was told bed bugs, but I've washed all the sheets, checked the mattress, box spring and bed frame...but there is nothing, not to mention my husband hasn't been affected. I was told scabies, but I'm the only one who's affected.
Avatar n tn now starting on his legs, after thinking about it he did lean against some trees. The rash is large red welts, itchy and some on his back were warm. He had several days last week of weakness and achy feeling and very tired. He doesn't want to go to a doctor unless he has to because he doesn't have insurance. What could be causing this? Is there anything we can do?
Avatar n tn Dear Dr Aparna, Thank you for your detail explanation. He told me he ate alot of strawberries for the past 2 weeks. Is this the possible cause? Can anti-histamines be bought in drug stores or it has to be prescribed by doctors?
Avatar f tn For about 4 years or so, I have had rash that is around my neck/chest/shoulder area..... it hasn't progressed. But in times of heat or stress it seems to become redder and even itch...... I have noticed my boyfriend, of 1 year has got the same thing in his chest hair region.... and at first it was small... but the other he came over he came back from work and it was red and looked like miine. Im wondering if it is contagious? or what might this be causing this?
Avatar n tn I have been getting a rash (hives) at night on my legs, arms, back. It is accompanied by itching. By the time I wake up in the morning the rash and hives are gone. I haven't changed any soaps, detergents, and I am wondering if anyone has any ideas of what this could be.
Avatar f tn I only get them when I sleep at my boyfriend's apartment. I don't get them when I sleep at my own apartment. The even weirder part? My boyfriend has never woken up to bug bites before. I'm the only one who gets them. I have wondered if maybe he has bed bugs, but why would they only bite me? And if he did have bed bugs I would suspect his roommate would also have problems by now since this has been going on for roughly 8 months.
Avatar f tn I think mine might be a pregnancy rash or heat rash. (You also might have that.) I would say if it gets too bad go to the doctor, honestly. could be flee bites too. Or they could be hives. If you have animals they Sorry not much help.
Avatar n tn Hi, Normally welts appear in a skin condition called hives.Hives are red, itchy welts or swellings on the skin that often come in clusters. Hives can appear anywhere on the body, cropping up either in one small area or covering large patches of skin. They most often occur as part of an allergic reaction. No one lesion lasts more than 24 hours, but new ones may continue to appear until the condition resolves.
Avatar f tn I have these welts on the side of my face and neck. I cant think of anything that would cause this only on one side of my face. Im allergic to all kinds of stuff outside like pollen and mold, and also mosqitos, dogs, cats, and rabbits. im probably allergic to more than that, and just dont know it. I also hav asthma. Im around dogs all the time, but I have never actually gotten welts or anything, only sneezing and stuff like that.
1025521 tn?1252507728 I recentley startes tanning in a tanning bed, approxamately a couple weeks after I started a rash started below my knees and down my shins. I tanned last summer as well and the same thing but not as bad. The rash begins as little red spots, but this time it has got a little worse. They are irregular shaped red spots or welts/ blemishes, slightly poofy and raised but not extremely.
Avatar n tn Usually the welts follow the same course of my scratch, so I end up with streaks of welts (raised bumps or lines, somewhat like mosquito bites only not so firm) wherever I had scratched. However, the rash that develops isn't dry, leathery, scaly, or filled with pus. It has the same texture as the rest of my skin, only more swollen.
Avatar n tn My young son has small rash patches that almst look like small hives, with redness around the raised welts and warm almost hot to the touch. The stange thing is that these patches appear suddenly, and then disappear just as suddenly, generally in under 30 minutes. The patches appear on his face, arms, legs, and torso, even a couple on his scalp. This has been going on for 48 hours, and there does not seem to be any discernible trigger. No new soaps of foods.
Avatar f tn My husband's experience was that he got the Incivek rash around week 1-2 of treatment, and it lasted about 5 weeks or so. It was very red, had some welts, and had some small blisters. In looking at the photos and showing it to the NP, it was described as moderate. She gave him two prescriptions for it Hydroxyzine HCL, 25 mg, 1 – 2 tablets every 6 hours as needed Triamcinolone, 0.025% OINT, twice per day as needed).
302488 tn?1337551241 I mostly get lots of small red bumps, a smaller number of large red bumps, and I always seem to have one or two going that are big welts, like hives. Those are the worst for itching. About week 6 or 7 is when the rash first started really annoying me, so you are right on schedule even if the bumps aren't quite the most typical. I hope someone else will join in who has experienced more of this form of rash!
679084 tn?1226579372 I switch to another bra and it goes away. I thought it was just a heat rash. Could formaldihyde be in the strap as well? That place on my shoulder blade is just weird and ever present. Yikes! Thanks for being here!
Avatar f tn The visible hives (sometimes called heat bumps) appear as a multitude of small 2-3 mm welts typically surrounded by patches of red skin.The rash typically develops within a few minutes of a rise in body temperature but can take longer to appear visibly on the skin. Cholinergic urticaria can be very difficult to treat. Since an attack can often be felt coming on, it can sometimes be halted by rapid cooling, such as applying cold water or an ice pack to the skin.

Avatar f tn red welts and extreme itching on buttocks, outside of legs, arms and palms. red mosquito like welts on stomach. all are extremely itchy. especially on palms but not on feet. nothing on my face.
1260255 tn?1288654564 It can affect people of all ages. The rash can quickly change shape and come and go over a matter of minutes or hours. A rash may last for days. What causes hives? The reaction occurs when the body releases a naturally occurring chemical called histamine, which causes itching and swelling. Hives may be the first sign of an allergy. Some people are born with allergies, while others can develop allergies at any time. Sometimes the cause of hives is never found.
Avatar m tn Herpes would not appear so quickly and probably not as a widespread rash as you describe. When you say welts though, do you mean red rash with raised bumps like a mosquito bite? No fluid or anything inside? If that's the case, it sounds like an immune allergic reaction, try some antihistamine tablets and see what happens. Of course follow up with a doctor when you can.
Avatar f tn Does anyone have a RASH or welts on their body? Could it be from La Senza or Victoria's Secret bras? I do. I work for the company and all my colleagues have symptoms of an allergic reaction including: Rash, Hives and/or Welts, burning skin with profuse itching, chest irritation, eye irritation, esophagus and stomach burning.
