Question 1

small itchy red bumps on my feet and ankles. what is this?

Accepted Answer

It could be...: Athlete's foot. The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. Dilute vinegar soaks are good as well.  Dry the inside of your shoes by placing them up-side down over an air return vent at home overnight. If this doesn't make things better in a couple days, see a podiatrist.

Question 6

tiny 1-2mm itchy red bumps have spread across my entire body since this morning and i would love to know if there is anything i can do to treat this. i haven't introduced anything new and been working from home all day, so can't pinpoint the source of this reaction. i've never experienced anything like this before. 
i have had bug bites on my ankles that are about 2 weeks old and were going away, but today have hardened and have clear puss. not sure if it's correlated.
thanks

allergic reaction?

Accepted Answer

Bug bites again?: The description of hard little nodules with clear puss do not suggest an allergic reaction since most allergies are hives (urticaria) or a localized contact dermatitis (like poison ivy). The description makes me think about chigger bites or other insect bites. This tend to happened if you have been outdoors or with pets. Treat with vigorous washing, 1% hydrocortisone creams and Benadryl

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Possible allergy: Causes of this type of localized itchy rash include contact dermatitis from clothing, creams, etc  or allergic reaction to insect bites.Cortisone cream may help.

Question 8

Question 9

hi, i noticed three tiny red bumps and red spots under my foot yesterday. they don't hurt or itch in any way. what can be causing them? thanks.

Accepted Answer

To start with...: It may be athlete's foot. The best otc medication (in my opinion) is lotrimin (clotrimazole) ultra. Socks should be a synthetic material like those manufactured by thorlo [http://www.Thorlo.Com/]. Dilute vinegar soaks are good as well.  Dry the inside of your shoes by placing them up-side down over an air return vent at home overnight. If this doesn't make things better in a couple days, see a podiatrist.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

See a skin doctor: Keep your feet clean and dry and open to the air soon you get home if there is any history of diabetes or not getting any better you need to see your doctor or preferably a skin doctor
