He will do commonly as most kids seem to find things to bump into or fall onto!

Question 2

i have little bumps with pus. and they itch. when i scratch them it takes top layer of skin off and be a little crater?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis: What you are describing sounds like folliculitis, but there are many possibilities, including allergic reactions and insect bites and viral illness. If it is folliculitis, the first treatment is warm compresses. Sometimes antibiotics are needed. Best to see your doctor for a proper evaluation. You may also try taking a picture of your rash and sending it in a AskDoctor consult on HealthTap Prime.

Question 3

what does it mean when i am itchy and i scratch then these big bumps and small bumps rises above my skin ? i have a picture how do i send it to you ?

Accepted Answer

Hypersensitivity: Your skin is in a state of hypersensitivity to pressures on it causing hivelike swellings and angioedema reactions. There is something of an allergic reaction causing this hypersensitivity. Taking antihistamines like benadryl(causes drowsiness)  or claritin (loratadine) may help. See an allergist for evaluation.

Question 4

skin swelling up and it's puffy and itchy after i scratched it. but it was just a little bump and not a bug bite?

Accepted Answer

Hives: Swelling and itching of the skin after scratching is usually due to hives (urticaria) -- or more scientifically, "dermatographism." the little bump that started it all could very well have been a bug bite, however.

Question 5

every morning when i wake up, my skin gets itchy and i develope bumps everywhere i scratch. could this be bed bugs ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: But the bites would stay and not go away. There are some hive like reactions that occur with heat (being under the covers), but if you do not notice it in the hot shower or with exercise you probably do not have the things that can cause that. A dermatologist would be the specialist to gather information from.

Question 6

at random times my body is itching painfully. i dont itch it but it erupts in large red scratches along my skin and painful bumps all over.

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: This description  appears as  generalized itching with urticaria .antihistamines may take care of this but the cause must be determined. Allergen may be food,medications,insects,chemicals etc You must become your own detective to find the culprit.

Did you start any new make up,medications or food just before this episode?

How long you have had this? Details not clear.

Question 7

Lots of things.: There are a number of possible causes of itching;it's a good idea to see your doctor to determine the specific cause and any treatment needed.

Question 9

i have had these little pimple-like bumps on my skin for the past 5 years or so. they just appeared out of nowhere, havent gone away, and i have to scratch them off but they just come back. is this something to be worried about! thanks?

Accepted Answer

: most likely, this is nothing serious, but since the condition seems to be continuing, you ought to be evaluated by a dermatologist and possibly receive some tx

Question 10

how would i cause a raised skin bump or skin irritation just by scratching?

Accepted Answer

It triggers rashes: Scratching of the skin can trigger eczematous rashes, it damages the skin and can result in bumps and rashes.It also depends on what caused the scraching, as allergies and eczema makes you scratch and this makes the rash worse and there is a vicious cycle and you need meds to stop the ithch to help the patient.
