Avatar f tn The first time she got it was a few months ago, it started off with a severe itchy scalp and red itchy spots on her neck/back, then she woke up with a shock, her scalp was covered in yellow crust, it was awful she was so distressed, i had to get it out with a nit comb. That time she was suffering from stress. Now once again it's happening, the weather here in England has been 30c and she works in a School kitchen with no air con so you can imagine how hot it is for her.
Avatar m tn I first noticed that I have been getting a rash in the center of my chest about two months ago. It isn't always there, and there isn't really any side effects other than it getting hot. It's not raised, it's not itchy, it's not really anything, just a rash. However, recently the rashes have been getting bigger and I noticed my heart pumps a little faster when the rash is present. Since there hasn't been any threat until recent, I was wondering what is going on?
Avatar n tn Covid can cause rashes. I think I read that they can last a week to ten days.

Avatar f tn Hey, in the past 3 weeks I've developed a seriously itchy rash around my anus. It's dark brown, and seems to be worse when I wear anything tight. It was getting better thanks to aloe vera but now aloe vera just stingers. The only helpful thing is a bath with epsom salts. What is it/where could it have come from - should I be worried? I'm embarrassed to go to a walk-in clinic without a bit more info.
Avatar n tn They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.

Pls discuss the possibility of hives with your dermatologist and do keep me posted on what he says. I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.

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 m tn for the past year i have had a red or pink spotted area in both of my inner thighs (where the legs meet basically, in those folds). they aren't bumpy, or itchy, or bothersome whatsoever and never have been. they are flush with my skin, and aren't extremely dry or flaky or anything, just normal like the rest of my skin. i've noticed that they are sort of chiseled like a grid or like the skin on backs of hands. and finally, i've noticed that it is sort of reflective of light.
Avatar n tn Trying to figure out what this is ... I've taken a few pictures in hope that it assists some of you. First time on here so I hope I'm doing this correctly (asking the question). I've had this for about a year off and on - lately a lot more on than off. I will get rashes anywhere on my body (ranging from arms to legs, torso - everywhere). The skin will become itchy with very slight redness, or sometimes even bright redness.
Avatar m tn Pruritis, or intense itching, can occur in the first week after being infected. Rash and joint pain often occur in second week. Typically the body is able is able to mount an immune response 10 to 14 days after infection, at which point the viremia (virus in blood) resolves. -Dr.

Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with eczema but the treatment does not help. I develop itchy, dry rashes mainly on the inner thighs with patches on the forehead. Eventually these rashes get dry and scaly and won't stop peeling and when they heal there is a lack of pigment in the area which lasts for months. I was recently in India and treated with medtronidazole for a parasite which cleared up the rashes for about 6 months but now it is back worse than ever. Any ideas?
Avatar m tn Hi, this type of oral sex is low risk in active adults and with children, i cant see any connection with your friend and your present day red mark for contracting any std from that experience as you were both children and not exposed to the world of sexual promiscuity as are many adults.. Your rash in the summer is most likely just a summer prickly heat rash. If your overly worried about this, the only test that might be recommended is a herpes test just to confirm your status.

Avatar n tn The red spots turn into small blisters (filled with fluid) that dry up and form scabs (crusts) over about a week. The disease is most commonly seen in children; however, adults tend to have a more severe disease. Chicken pox is a highly contagious disease from about 2 days before the rash appears and lasts until all the blisters are crusted over. The infection generally resolves on its own.
Avatar n tn I have a 5 year old daughter who developed a spotty rash on her trunk about 2-3 weeks ago. She has stated that they have not been very itchy, I have not seen her scratch herself at all regarding this. We do not remember her having any fever, cold, or any illness prior to the rash developing. Since it started to develop, the rash has become worse and it has started to move onto her neck.
Avatar m tn 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION SOVALDI should be used in combination with ribavirin or in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin for the treatment of CHC in adults.
Avatar m tn It is true that flu can cause a fever with a rash but usually only in children. Even though influenza rarely causes a skin rash in adults, it isn't impossible for it to happen, especially if the person has a history of skin rashes caused by allergies. On how long the rashes will last, it depends on the types of allergies you have.

Avatar m tn Please re-read my response. You were never at risk for HIV, so whatever medical issues you are experiencing have nothing to do with HIV.
Avatar n tn Parvovirus infection may present with a red rash on the cheeks .However, this is quite a rare presentation in adults and Parvovirus usually affects children. Also, this infection may be associated with joint pains. The sexual history may be contributory. However, we may not be too sure if this rash is an STD manifestation. A urinalysis may be done as well as blood tests may be done just to rule out any STD"s but I would say the results may likely not show anything.
Avatar f tn I am 34 weeks pregnant and a couple of days ago I noticed a lot of red dots all around my belly and now they are really itchy and they are starting to look like a rash. Has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar n tn The more we eat these foods, the more the rash/blisters spread. Not being in the medical field I am not qualified to make a diagnosis for anyone else, but the three of us believe it to be some sort of yeast infection. It takes eliminating these foods completely from out diet for a while to make this disappear. Also, there is a product called Grapefruit Seed Extract, follow the directions on the bottle.
