What are these red itchy bumps on my body!?
I have these red itchy bumps on my arms, front of my legs, the sides of my back and on my butt. They started appearing the week after easter. I am being told that they are bed bug bites or spider bites. But the strange thing is i am the only one in the household that has them. They are penny size red bumps and they itch mainly more at night time. I have checked my bed for bed bugs and don't see any signs of them being on my bed. But if they were bed bugs wouldn't they be biting my husband as well while in bed. I was told that they come out at night and to take a flash light and check my bed thoroughly, i did this and did not see anything. So i am puzzled at what they could be. The bumps are localized to my right forearm,elbows,and sides of my back by my armpits, Please help me figure out what these are on me.
Every spring I get itchy bumps behind knees, elbows, and thighs has?
You might have Eczema. I've had it since I was born but we never knew my sister had it until last winter/ spring time. I would buy either one of these three things: 1) Liquid vitamin E, 2) Baby Oil, or 3) Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with vitamin E Skin Therapy oil. I usually use 3 because it works the best and fastest- you can get the first two at walmart but the last one I've only seen at Walgreen's or CVS by the makeup section. Apply this when you wake up, before you go to school or whatever your doing that you don;t want people to see the flaky skin. Next get some Baby Lotion or another UNSCENTED lotion. I use baby lotion because it is so mild, and, once again, it works best. And apply this before you go to bed. Also, when you take a bath or shower make sure you're using warm water, never hot, because it dries out your skin even more. Also, just as a little FYI, your body starts to LOSE moisture after being immersed in water- i.e. bath or shower- for 10 or more minutes. I hope this helps! Okay, I still got that with my eczema. Sorry I just copied my answer from another question about eczema for you. It's probably because you're getting sweaty in those places and the salt in your sweat is causing a small allergic reaction I get them behind my knees every year and I got them on the insides of my elbows until I used the cortisone cream but then it made my skin super dry there... You should see about making an appointment with a dermatologist.
Tiny itchy bumps on forearm?
My thought is that you are sensitive to a cleaning liquid that is over sprayed onto your forearms. It could be something you use rarely and are just sensitive to it. Or you are putting your arms into some cleaning liquid? Do you have pets and do you bath them? If that is the case, I would wash them with organic based shampoos and conditioners. Make sure you rinse your arms with cold water after you have used any cleaning solutions even if they are organic and apply an Aloe or Vitamin E based cream or gel. What I would use to heal the rash is to apply natural Vit E oil that is mixed with almond oil or jojoba oil after bathing and before bedtime. I would also apply Aloe Vera gel that is pure and organic to the area several times a day. For some people, Calendula creams are very soothing and healing but I would test it first on my skin before buying it. You may be very sensitive to even herbal creams. Vit E is a good choice as I have not heard or read of any allergies to it. Make sure it is a pure source and not synthesized. It should read as a d-tocopherol and not dl-tocopherol. If you are allergic to soy, make sure the E is not soy based.
I have bumps on my elbows?
I have these bumps on my elbows. They don't itch, their not irritating, don't have any kind of redness. They are just bumps. Look just like skin. They can't be popped. It's just like my skin but bumpy. Looks kind of like ant bites but they dont irritate al all. I know its not a type pf bite. Any clue what they might be?
Could an IV 6 weeks ago be causing a recurring itchy rash in the crook of my elbow?
You could have an allergy to the adhesive/tape that was used to hold IV in your arm. It could also be a heat rash or too much moisture there. You can always try to put a small amount of cortisone cream and see if it goes away and then if it returns for no reason (no new lotions or bandaids or anything and it’s bothersome) go see your dermatologist.
Very itchy body rash, what could it be?
A little over 2 months ago I went to the clinic at my university because I had a very itchy rash on my arm. There were a few patches. The nurse said it was eczema and prescribed triamcinolone acetonide cream. I applied this and that rash went away. Shortly after, I got smaller red bumps all over my arms, stomach, legs, hands, back. Pretty much all over my body and the itching is very severe. The cream does not relieve the itching nor does it clear up the rash. I also have clear bumps all over the palms of my hands. I have done a lot of web searching but I cannot figure out what this rash could be, any ideas?
Itchy, red bites/spots all over body?
I first got them a couple months go, but that one only like one on my arm and one in my armpit. The spots (or bites) are red and swollen when itched, and extremely itchy. I only had two, then they faded after a couple weeks and two more would show up, and the same pattern repeated, so I simply assumed they were mosquito bites as I am slightly allergic. However this month more bites have started appearing and in more places, this week I suddenly have severl bites on my arms, stomach, neck, back and legs, the leg bites being the worst. The leg bites can sometimes swell up with a pus residue inside them and after a day or two start "leaking" so I now have three bandaids on my leg where the spots went a little crazy. My mum hasn't got any bites, and she spends time with animals every day so it isn't fleas. At my grandparents house neither of them are getting spots either so it's just me. Mums theory is some bugs living in my bed, but we're not sure what type or if they are even bites at all. Any help?
