The pathological reaction that takes place on your skin due to foreign particles is considered as allergy rash. As every one of us doesn’t have similar skin types, the immune system also varies from person to person. Itchy and swollen red bumps or patches all over the body is the way they present and they will appear in clusters at different periods of time. This kind of skin inflammation with swollen red itchy patches all over the body is the most common form of allergy rash.

By today, it is still painful to the touch and whenever I lift my arm or that part of the skin touches another part of my skin, the rash hurts. It does not itch at all. The redness of both rashes has been gradually increasing as well as it looks even partly yellowish on certain parts as if its scabbing over maybe? (not too sure). It also has some darker reddish lines throughout it, which I believe are just the areas where my skin folds over on the rash.

This is termed as the malar rash or butterfly rash that apears symmetrically and involves the bridge of the nose.

Would you be able to identify certain triggers that could have led to the rash? Do you have any known allergies?

Hi my name is Samir. I have been suffering from an extremely itchy skin rash for at least 5 years. It started on my eyelids, and the doctor prescribed me a cortisone cream, but the problem is recurring to this day. Then 4 years ago, i developed a skin rash in my groin area around my testicles and on the inner thighs and around the anus. then this year, the problem has spread to my lower stomach, underneath the elbows, and the sides of my neck.

The virus reappears along one nerve, causing tingling and burning sensations, which precede the rash by several days. It affects the skin served by one spinal nere root, only on one side of the body. The virus can be transmitted only to someone who never had chickenpox, so if you did have it, you can't catch it again. The condition heals itself, but healing can be speeded up if he takes an oral antibiotic against zoster. Call your doctor first thing tomorrow and ask for a prescription.

My boyfriend just noticed two rashes on the middle of my lower buttocks/upper back of the thigh. They are right in the middle of the back of my thigh. They are flat, bright red, not raised, not itchy an from a far look perfectly symmetrical. They look like a checkerboard. Almost like sitting on something that had a pattern on it but they have been there all night. Please advise.

Hi cantbelive, You rash probably has nothing to do with hiv. The rash for hiv is generally on the torso, or should at least be symmetrical. rash on the right side only, should not be related to hiv. Your guess about the pins and needles being related to you foot in a hard cast is most probably correct. Nevertheless, unprotected vaginal sex is still a risk. For that incident, if you are worried, a test at 3 months, which is actually right now, will be conclusive.

Like, almost perfectly symmetrical. The rash is kind of moist and sticky too, no matter how much you dry it. It hurts a little and itches like crazy but if I scratch it, it hurts more. Does anyone have anything that will get rid of this?

These rings evolve into large patches of rough skin, it stings severely just before they erupt on my skin with intense itching as they grow. I have very fair skin and freckles.

After having an all day sex fest, I developed a painful rash on my chin. I've had skin irritations before because he has facial hair, but never to this extreme. The skin is not only red but painful little blisters have formed. After scrubbing my chin, I noticed after the blisters have popped there is a clear liquid that oozes from the little blisters before they dry. What is this rash and how can I get it cleared up quickly to avoid further pain?

the macules not confluent, red (not pink, not orange, not dark red. My skin is white, by the way), from 2 millimeters to 1 centimeter, they are all round, some of them develop a diminute aqueous pus bleb in their center (you can burst it) and they are much more visible at evening and when I sweat than in the morning when I wake up. Tactile sensitivity is only possible by the ones with the bleb. The exanthem (so called it my doctor, but unfortunately he did not know more), is symmetric.

Usually using a diaper rash ointment on it overnight relieves it, but since it is symmetrical I don't think it is considered a rash. Could it mean more of a problem or just try it as I am.

Often different sites and opinions don't distinguish clearly between a newly infected person's rash to an hiv rash later in hiv stages. online pictures are often unclear as well. I'd actually say they're more unclear than the written information. I understand symptoms should never be used to diagnose and that's not my intention. Can a single raised/seemingly symmetric bump very closely resembling an early acne bump suggest accute hiv infection? Can several of these suggest it?

Sometimes it ripens causing excruciating pain, forcing me to burst them. I've never had unprotected sex & am hiv negative.
