Avatar n tn This kind of skin inflammation with swollen red itchy patches all over the body is the most common form of allergy rash. The most common causes are certain foods like berries, shellfish, fish, nuts, eggs, milk, and others, medications, cosmetics, metals like nickel, emotional stress, exposure to water, sunlight, cold or heat, insect bites and pollen. Usually, skin rashes are not harmful and last only for few days.
Avatar n tn Covid can cause rashes. I think I read that they can last a week to ten days. Here is from Healthline's website: _____________________ "The exact appearance of COVID-19 rashes can vary by individual. While some infectious diseases, such as chickenpox and measles, cause a very distinctive rash, a rash due to COVID-19 can take many forms: "Hives: COVID-19 rash can appear as itchy patches or wheals that resemble hives. These most often affect the limbs and torso.
Avatar f tn Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching. Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin.It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin. I hope it helps.

I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. Nummular dermatitis and ringworm have to be ruled out.

Avatar m tn The rash started off as discolored red patches almost. I began applying jock itch cream, and then the rash developed into less intense but now dry and flaky itchy spots on my scrotum. They aren't intensely itchy, but are still a nuisance to look at and deal with. I havent had a sexual encounter in over a year.....
Avatar m tn I had mild bruises initially after coming off my bike, and then later itchy patches nearby. They were round patches that were red, darker on the outside of the patch, getting lighter inwards. I had a patch test for a hair dye on my right arm around that time, and my arms have had with raised areas that itch since around then However I did not get any skin changes or itching around the site of the patch test itself!
Avatar m tn I have non-itchy, non-painful, red raised sploches on my stomach, chest and neck. Sometimes dry looking and sometimes get really dark or almost fade away. It isn't uncomfortable, just not nice to look at. I want to be able to wear a bikini this summer but won't looking like this. Any help would be much apprieciated.
Avatar n tn my son has a red rash on his chest back and neck .its not itchy but very sore looking.what is it?should i bring him to a doctor?
Avatar f tn however i keep getting itchy spots or patches, they are not like bed bug bites or fleas, since i get one itchy rash spot every four or three days. By mid May, the spots or patches stop appearing. however on Friday i got two mosquitoes bites on my right leg, next thing i knew i have two patches on my left arm, it look quite different compare to the bites on my leg. this morning i found a (1in big) patch on the back of my leg.
Avatar f tn Hi I recently got a rash on my inner thighs and my groin area but now I seem to have an itchy redness on my japs eye and a weird scab on the head of my penis, I also have itchy red patches on my testicles, also I have a rash on my arms, lower kegs now and my belly button, could this all be connected or should I be worried about herpes, chlamydia etc? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!!
Avatar f tn Now I get brown circular rash clusters. I went back to the doc again but he said that if the red patches are gone, it should be fine now. But its itchy and uncomfortable and I want to get rid of it. What could this be?
Avatar f tn Throughout the course of these symptoms I developed dry red patches on my stomach area that later became itchy. After a few days the patches spread to my side and arms. I never felt bad like I had a cold but still had the cough and runny nose as well as these rashes. Now that the cold symptoms have subsided for the most part I still have these itchy red patches on my body that seem to be multiplying.

The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching. No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months(upto six months) If the rash persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.Other possibilities have to be ruled out then. Hope it helps.
Avatar f tn My eyes are crazy itchy - they are red in the inside corners and a bit swollen. I have a red itchy rash over various parts of my body and now it's moved onto my face (not pretty). The rash patches are almost always circular and of varying sizes. They never completely disappear but they are not always red and itchy - some are good one day - paler - and the next they are back to red and incredibly itchy. I know for sure that this is not psoriasis or eczema.
Avatar m tn Here are the pictures of my groin area rashes.Any idea of what this is and a way to treat it? http://www.medhelp.
Avatar f tn For the past month or so, I have been getting random itchy patches on my legs and feet. They come very suddenly, usually at night, and last for about 10-30 minutes, and there is occasionally redness or small raised bumps but sometimes, other than the itching, nothing seems to be wrong. At first I thought that it might be some sort of bug bite, but it is so inconsistent that I don't think that is the case. Some days it doesn't happen at all, and some days my entire leg feels itchy.

Avatar m tn Been checking myself for 8 weeks since a foolist sex encounter. A number of symptoms - not sure if related, or if were there before. - Rash of small faint red spots (1mm) both sides of torso, with 3-4 larger spots (0.5-1cm) around the back. Larger spots lasted few days and sometimes mildly itchy. They don't go, just fade into the general rash. First thought they were bites, but not sure. Whole rash is unchanged for several weeks.
Avatar n tn Hi - the day after protected sex, I have an itchy rash that is present on both my forearms and my shoulder. There are tiny bumps that form small patches...its not that visible to the naked eye but if you look at it closer, its apparent. Im fearing that this is some sort of STD or recent HIV transmission but Im hearing otherwise since it was protected. I did have protected sex but I cant remember if the condom broke or not...Im pretty sure it didnt. Given that, what does this sound like?
Avatar m tn The rash starts as VERY itchy blisters that pop and form spongey red patches that peel. Please help!!!
Avatar n tn My son is 7yrs old. For the past one month his skin develops small patches of red skin which disappears after a while like within an hour or two. The patch is non-irritable. Can u pls. help me understand this and suggest a treatment.
Avatar f tn I have an itchy blotchy rash on my back, with several raised bumps (there are no blisters/heads to them). The whole red area is about the size of the palm of my hand, excluding my fingers. It started a couple months ago as a couple bumps where my bra strap is sewn into the back part of my bra (note:not a new bra). I really thought it was just the bra that was itching and tried several different bras (new & old).
