1373769 tn?1278603610 Just to simply rub the skin on my own arm at times is very painful to the touch. It can last from a very short time like an hr or so and at other times goes on for a day or two. Then not happen again for a couple months. I actually avoid the sun mostly due to the heat causing the MS to drain me very quickly of the energy that I may have stored up.
237053 tn?1258828426 I do have a lot of strange sensory sx.. pain, burning, numbness and etc.. all over my body. However most the burning is in my left leg and foot, numbness mostly in my left foot, and the sensitive skin pain I find is usually in my right arm. It's a large portion pretty much from wrist to elbow under neath fore arm.
Avatar m tn hello, can hiv be transmitted through the encounter of verginal fluids with sensitive skin. By sensitive i mean that no blood can be observed but the upper layer may have been ripped off so if salt is sprinkled it hurts but there are no signs of blood or a cut only the upper layer of skin may be ripped off. secondly if the fluids are completely dry or at best slightly sticky what difference does this make.
Avatar f tn My skin peeled like a sunburn about a week later. I never turned red. My skin became sensitive and whelped in the bend of my elbows and under my arms. Now it just hurts and itches. What is the problem? I now use an umbrella when I am in the sun, but the sensitivity has remained.
Avatar n tn It goes from my elbow to my wrist. My skin is very sensitive to the touch of any kind. It hurts if wind blows on it to water splashing on it or my clothes rubbing against it. It almost feels like a bruise when it is touch, but it also aches. Sometimes my hands aches, tingles, and sometimes goes numb. My pain in my arm hurts mainly around my veins. I have had an ultrasound done on my veins and they said they were fine. I have had nerve tests done and still nothing.
Avatar m tn Now my skin is so red, sensitive, scaly, and it looks like I have 3 bags under both eyes. And, I think it has moved to my left arm, I have a small circular, irritated dry skin patch that I never had before. It is not ringworm. I know what ringworm looks like and this is not it. I am scheduled to see my doc in 3 days but I am afraid! What is this???
Avatar m tn I have a bump under my skin on my left arm, about a centimeter large. It feels like a pebble. Also Have them in these locations. Right arm on the palm side, smaller then the one on my left arm, Something kind of like a pebble under my chin bone My right temple, theres a pebble feeling bump that moves around. the one on my right arm used to ache. not anymore. Should I be worried? is a dermatologist the right person to go to?
Avatar f tn Well, I don't think it has to do with gastroenterology, which is an issue with the digestive tract. But for whatever reason, could be the deodorant you've been using is no longer agreeing with you, so change it. Always wash real good under your arms, too, when you shower.
Avatar m tn It is only on the right arm and the left arm is slightly red , but no pain . It does not itch , just hurts a lot when I move my arm around . They are like long red bumps that hurt on the touch . I saw a pharmacist and she said it could be a fungal infection. She said I might have to use "Lamisil Cream" , which is a lot of $$. The problem is I don't have coverage and I cannot afford this cream at the moment.

Avatar n tn I am 28 years old lady .ihave lumb under the skin of my upper arm lower arm and thigh , that have no pain what indicate it .
Avatar f tn It’s not raised. It’s not itchy. It’s just loads of red dots under the skin. Could it be a sign or something not right?
Avatar m tn but i am still worried, could it be cancer? it is close to the surface of the skin, but there is nothing on the skin surface. and anyway it goes deeper than just surface it gets 'wider' the deeper you go and as if attached to the muscle. but you can feel it close to the sin surface. i have the impression the gp didn't care and maybe because of budget consideration they do not like to send you for tests. but how about my piece of mind??? should i check it further?
Avatar f tn A boil, also referred to as a skin abscess, is a localized infection deep in the skin. A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with pus. I suggest you to get it evaluated from your doctor and get this possibility as well as other possibilities like swollen lymph node, pinched nerve, muscular pain etc also ruled out.
Avatar n tn I have no visable skin issue but I have pain under the surface of the skin on the outer side of the foreare just ahead of the elbow. It is generally fine except when I lean on the elbow when it sends a hot shooting pain through the area. The seems to be a real sensitive point behind the elbow that sends a line of pain through the forearm area. The surface of the skin where it is sore underneath also feels a little numb.
Avatar n tn I saw 5 dime size blue marks on my right arm spaced out between lower and upper arm. I did not get hit in any of those places. Did the 75mm Plavix plus two baby aspirin daily for 18 mos cause this and is it dangerous? The plavix was prescribed because I had a drug eluding stent ( 3 of them) placed in my LAD which was 90 % occluded. Can I reduce my plavix to half one or two days and drop the aspirin to see if the spots go away and no more start? Thanks!
Avatar m tn It stopped hurting on my legs and transitioned to my forearm, stomach and back. Those areas are no longer sensitive. About 2 days ago is started hurting under both my armpits and now only down my left tricep. I also developed a pretty bad cold sore this week as well. I can tell the pain is not as sensitive in my arms now, in fact its almost gone. I'm thinking herpes zoster or something along those lines but I can't figure out why its 'moving' around my body. Its not shingles.
494669 tn?1275362475 i am 27 years old and just recently found a lump under my arm, i saw my dac and he is sending me for an ultrasound but i am freaked out. i had one auntie who died from cancer, and now i am very scared. i know that it is probably nothing but i am worried and concerned. any advice would be wonderful.
Avatar m tn I have recently delevoped bleeding under my skin. It occurs on the back of my left arm and hand - without any trauma - for no apparent reason. My PCP told me it could be caused by low platelet count - a blood test showed platelet count normal. There is no pain associated with these and they usually slowly dissolve in about a week. Any ideas what is causing this? More importantly what physician specialty is equipped to evaluate and treat these?? My family doc's specialty is coughs and colds.
Avatar n tn I am 46 years old and have a desk job. No injuries. Not diabetic, No skin redness, however the skin is sensitive to the touch when the nerves in my arms sting. It is really weird. My neck sometimes goes out, but at this time my neck is fine. What type of doctor should i seek out?
Avatar f tn just started treatment 5 days ago (it already feels like forever). I have many symptoms, but the latest and greatest is my skin is so sensitive!! I have a rash on my torso, but it's not so much itchy as incredibly sensitive. Trying to dress for work everyday is awful, does anyone have any good tips on managing this?? Is everyone else working through their treatment?
Avatar n tn He seems to keep a skin irritation-like redness under his forearmpits. He has a sensitive stomach, and eats Purina for sensitive stomach with the salmon and yogurt. I use pantene shampoo and conditioner to bathe him. My vet has no answer. There is an odor but I'm concerned with the redness. Any advice will be appreciated.
Avatar m tn It started two days ago, under both arms, very sensitive welts under my arms. By the end of the day it was extremely painful. I went to deramatologist. She wasn't really sure what it was, said it was a bacterial infection. Today I woke up and the welts are on my groin area as well. Also extremely painful. The welts are hard and feel deep. No puss or fluid. I can't describe how painful they are. Vicoden makes it tolerable though. Any ideas?
1713150 tn?1314467342 My skin has become much more sensitive to the sun since taking gabapentin and amitriptyline. I always used to tan evenly; now I get red and blotchy. Don't know if it's the combo of both meds or just one of them that's the cause of it. I don't go outside at any time of the year without strong sunscreen on, with a high % zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide in it.
Avatar f tn Since I moved to a new area of NZ a simple scratch or knock on my right arm up to elbow comes up with blood forming under the skin, the skin in very thin now and any brushing against something ie: door frame or out in the garden causes it to peel back and bleed..playing with the animals a simple nail scratch turns into a blood filled welt under the top layer immediately. This happens on my left arm but only in small dots and scratches appear as normal..no blood..
Avatar n tn My doctor have said tendonitis has set in and gave me shots and imflammatory meds. My arm is heavy, sensitive to touch and the viens in my right hand continuously inflamed..I've had a EMG on the lower part of my right arm and it's shows no nerve damage. My arm is heavy and throbs with pain. Sometime it hard to breath. It causes me to sit and stand crooked. Should I accept tendonitis or should I push for further investigation of these symptoms.
