Avatar f tn Does this happen when you go outside? Does it happen when your in the heat? I get itchy all over in the heat, its because of sensitive skin. If its not because your in the heat, I don't know.
Avatar n tn For the past week or so i have had itchy skin all over but mainly on my arms and legs, it feels like something is on my skin and every now and then it feels like a pin is sticking in me. Its driving me mad.
Avatar n tn Hello, Without examination it is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis, but the symptoms are suggestive of prickly heat(malaria) or sweat dermatitis. 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.
Avatar n tn At first he thought it was a dandruff that has just moved down. I never have flakes, however, I do have itchy scalp. The heat allergy makes sense. He also prescribed Doxyclycline which has done nothing after being on it for almost two months. The only other medication I'm on, besides what he has prescribed for the condition listed above, is Estradiol 1mg and Prometrium 100mg. I wondered if that was causing it when it comes through my sweat glands.
Avatar f tn Is anyone skin breaking out? I'm getting bumps & they itch real bad. What does that mean?
Avatar n tn Miliaria is a skin disease marked by small and itchy rashes. Miliaria is a common ailment in hot and humid conditions, such as in the tropics and during the summer season."( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miliaria). The sweat rash may persist for quite sometime and may need topical medications like corticosteroids to help resolve it. If it does not appear in other areas of the body and seems to be present and localized in one definite area, then a diagnosis of a sweat rash is likely.
Avatar m tn I am a 79 year old and have been experiencing burning, prickly itchy skin since October 2013. I am itching from the top of my head to to the top of my feet. It feels like a light case of sunburn or like a razor burn after shaving.The sensation will be symmetrical, i.e. both arms, both sides of the head or face or ears. The prickly heat turns into an itching with sensations of pin pricking. Once the itching starts it is very hard to get it under control.

Avatar f tn I'm 33 weeks pregnant and lately my skin has been verry dry and itchy I've tryed lotion but it don't seem to be helping.... and my boobs are also verry itchy what can I do for my skin?
Avatar f tn I don't know if it has anything to do with my breasts getting bigger or what, but I have a bumpy, itchy rash under my breasts. I really hope it's not yeast. But after moisturizing & baby powder for 2 days it is still there. Is heat rash bumpy? Should I call my OB or just PCP?
Avatar n tn my 9 year old has a skin rash on his inner thighs and insides of knees and elbows; what is most likely the problem and how do I treat it?
Avatar f tn Hi, This is a condition called hives.Hives are red, itchy welts or swellings on the skin that often come in clusters. They sometimes have a light red or pale center surrounded by a darker red area around the borders -- a marking resembling tiny bull's eyes -- but may simply look like large red circles. In doctor speak, hives are known as "urticaria." Hives can appear anywhere on the body, cropping up either in one small area or covering large patches of skin.
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 Hi, Cholinergic urticaria is a subcategory of physical urticaria (aka hives) that is a skin rash brought on by a hypersensitive reaction to body heat. Symptoms follow any stimulus to sweat such as exercise , heat from the sun, saunas, hot showers , spicy foods which may cause an increase in body temperature or even stress due to blushing or anger. Some people only have symptoms during the winter months where their body temperature rises when it is unacclimatized to heat.
Avatar m tn For the past few years I have noticed res spots on my back that over time grow together and now cover a majority of my back and just recently I have been getting similar red spots in my inner arm between my forearm and bicep also on my neck and chest. Sometimes they can become itchy usally when it's warm or hot.
Avatar n tn i dont think itchy skin is a sign of being pregnant til later on like you said when your skin starts to stretch, i am not 100% sure though. If you two are worried why dont you wait until her menstrual cycle is supposed to come, then take a home pregnancy test? Good luck.
Avatar m tn Saw my Dermo she said it was heat induced folliculitis. The only reason I worry is that - one, it is quite itchy when it happens, and two, I only noticed it after an encounter with a woman I had that was unprotected, although I have been tested 14 weeks out for any STDs and were all negative. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts or advice, thank you.
Avatar m tn At first it was just sore then a couple of days later the bumps appeared and they are itchy and it hurts when you scratch it. What is it? Is it a heat rash, a rash, or a skin condition? Do I need to go to the doctor to get it checled out?
Avatar n tn The pads because of their purpose dry the skin and remove oils, harmful to complexion but good for healthy skin. So your putting aloe on to sooth and alcohol and other chemicals which dry so its little wonder your skin is agitated. Try using hydrocortisone instead. this will help with the itching and will not dry out the skin.
