Avatar n tn HIV can also cause a non-itchy maculo-papular rash, similar in appearance, but mainly localised to the trunk and upper limbs; it does not crust over either. it would normally appear sometime between 2 and 6 weeks after the infection (between 14 and 42 days), not lasting more than 1-14 days, and almost always accompanied by a high fever and a severe sore throat with general malaise.
Avatar f tn Hives or urticaria causes red and sometimes itchy rash on the body such as face, neck, trunk, arms, and legs and perhaps anywhere on the body. They are usually allergic (food, medication and insect stings) but may also be due to infections and stress. Many a times no specific cause for them is ever found. They usually go away on their own, but in sometimes oral antihistaminics (such as cetirizine, loratidine, benadryl available over the counter) may be needed.
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 n tn i have a non itchy rash on my inner thigh and back of my calf. It started low and kept going higher. The calf rash is small and round but the thigh rash is a little larger and more blotchy.
Avatar f tn I don think my rash was HIV related, it was itchy with raised bumps that quickly dissapeared, but the itching all over the body, does beginning stage/ARS cause a symptom of itching?
Avatar n tn Eczema is a general term used to describe a variety of conditions that cause an itchy, inflamed skin rash. Atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema, is a non-contagious disorder characterized by chronically inflamed skin and sometimes intolerable itching. An individual is more at-risk for developing the condition if there is a personal or family history of atopic dermatitis, hay fever, asthma, or other allergies.
Avatar f tn I have a light red patchy rash that has spread over my stomach and back it is not itchy or sore in any way but I am worried as it hasn't gone away yet I've never had a rash before
Avatar n tn After a few days, a rash appears as a band or patch of raised dots on the side of the trunk or face. The rash develops into small, fluid-filled blisters which begin to dry out and crust over within several days. When the rash is at its peak, symptoms can range from mild itching to extreme and intense pain. Treatment of shingles includes antiviral drugs, steroids, analgesics and anti viral eye drops.I sincerely suggest you to consult a gynecologist and get it ruled out. I hope that helps.
Avatar n tn Rash was - red, slightly raised, flat, small blisters like raised bumps in the middle, rash was on nose, ears and face, arms and back and front of the trunk. NOT below the waist. The rash was itchy. its been four days and its going down now. No other symptoms at all. Everything was normal apart from the rash. My questions are 1) Is it possible to get the ars rash after 8 weeks after exposure? 2) Does this rash sound like the ars rash?

Avatar f tn It is really itchy and when I itch it and touch another spot, that spot gets itchy but not to the extent of the original rash. I have very sensitive skin and things like scented soap and deodorant make me break out, but this time I'm not sure what's going on.
Avatar n tn You have noted however, that the skin condition seems to be aggravated by taking a shower. The rash of pityriasis may become itchy given certain triggers like increase or changes in temperature. Another differential for this is a fungal infection .They may be skin colored and they may also be felt as bumps over the skin. Fungal infections are usually circular with a reddish or brownish border. There is also a central clearing wherein scales may be noted. Is this similar to your case?
Avatar f tn Have breakout rash that is red , itchy, and kind of like blisters that open and have red sores that then scab over on my back neck chest, and breast area. Have had two kenalog shots. Got better after the first one and then came back and just had another kenaog shot.Have any ideas what this may be or how to treat it.
Avatar n tn My 4y old child developed a non-itchy rash about 2wks ago. It starts as a red tiny bumpy spot which then flattens, becomes less intensely red (perhaps even yellowish), increases in diameter (from 1 mm to up to 7mm,majority around 3mm). It may loose its round shape (can be round but others are oval) edges are not clear and the whole surface of the rash seems bumpy. So far the rash is strictly limited to the trunk.
Avatar n tn I'm 4 weeks out of last risky encounter and have a bad ITCHY rash on my neck/chest. Do ARS-related rashes itch? I am finding contradicting information on this (answers with sources would thus be especially helpful). I went to the primary care dr. today but didn't mention my ARS concern. She said it looked like some kind of allergic reaction and not like a viral concern.
Avatar f tn about 3 weeks ago a real itchy rash showed up under the crease of my butt. it itched like crazy. it started out as like 3 little bumps and turned into a cluster of of pimple like bumps. I doctored it really well with anti itch medicine. about a week later on the same leg, a new line of a rash came up. decided to go to the doctor, they gave me a decahedron shot and told me to come back if it was still there in the next couple days.

The rash develops into small, fluid-filled blisters which begin to dry out and crust over within several days. When the rash is at its peak, symptoms can range from mild itching to extreme and intense pain. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn If symptoms are severe, anti-inflammatory medicines such as corticosteroids may be used to relieve itching and reduce the rash. Exposing the rash to sunlight may make it go away more quickly. If the rash lasts more than 3 months, it would be best to have this evaluated further by your doctor. Keep the itchy area cool and moist and avoid taking hot showers or baths. Take care and keep us posted.
