Question 1

can very dry skin cause red itchy bumps that look like bug bites? i'm getting sporadic red itchy bumps on face it's very dry and itchy!

Accepted Answer

Yes: Skin that is very dry can develop irritation.  The best treatment would probably be to use a cream that is both an exfoliant and emollient.  I generally recommend either a lactic or a glycolic acid cream to help get rid of the dry, rough skin.

Question 2

i have little patches of tiny dry skin bumps, but they itch so much, do you know what they are?

Accepted Answer

I don't.  But...: With more information, perhaps we can figure this out.  You could request a formal consultation where we could go over your symptoms more specifically, and you could even upload pictures of these bumps during the consult for direct review.

Question 3

hi i really need help, i have white dry skin bumps around the outer labia area what does it mean? i did have itching and burning for couple of days and now it doesnt. no unusual orders or changes, no pus, nothing else that seems off?

Accepted Answer

Possible yeast: There are a lot of possibilities here.  Symptoms are somewhat suspicious for a yeast infection.  As such, an OTC (over the counter) antifungal medication can be tried.  However, it is important to keep in mind that other possibilities exist (neoplasm,  precancerous and cancerous changes).  Along these lines, follow up with an GYN provider for persistent symptoms is prudent.

Question 4

how do you get rid of dry skin bumps on the upper arms?

Accepted Answer

CeraVe Sal: As salicylic acid works to loosen and exfoliate dead skin cells, patented mve® technology allows a controlled release of nourishing ceramides, hyaluronic acid and antioxidant vitamin d into the skin to help repair and maintain the barrier. Salicylic acid’s exfoliating action enables these moisturizing ingredients to penetrate the skin more deeply, leaving it smooth and touchable. Get cerave® sa.

Question 5

acne, dry skin, large face bump?

Accepted Answer

Deep acne, dry skin: This is likely deep seated inflammation (cystic acne) that can be painful. Continue with gentle cleansing and your treatment care regimen. You may need to see a dermatologist for injection of an anti-inflammatory to calm swelling and pain.

Question 6

i have a question about dry skin on the genitals, recently a few weeks ago a red dry skin patch under the top side of my penis head and i have zero symptoms, no itching, no discharge, no bumps/burns. its just there, do you know what this could be?

Accepted Answer

: As you realize a skin condition needs to be seen. Please see a doctor

Question 7

i have a small patch of bumpy skin on my face. the bumps are not red, nor do they itch or hurt. is this just dry skin? or maybe acne?

Accepted Answer

Facial lesions: Bumps on the face could be multiple things. Acne will turn red eventually. Eczema (associated with dry skin) can result in bumps that may or may not itch. A fungal infection would gradually spread and may not itch. If the bumps have a small central pit it could be a benign infection called Molluscum that resolves over time. Using steroids like hydrocortisone will worsen a fungal infection.

Question 8

i had a rash show up on my penis it started out as small bumps but they popped and now the head of my penis has really dry skin it peels and its not itchy or anything

Accepted Answer

A : A rash on your penis definitely warrants medical investigation, meaning a trip to your doctor. You could be dealing with something as simple as an allergic reaction/dermatitis or something more worrisome like an std. Regardless i can't make a good guess without seeing the area in question. Also you may need testing depending on your doctor's diagnosis.
Best of luck.

Question 9

cluster of small red bumps and really dry skin on my face and swollen eyes in the morning. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Any number of issues come to mind and an accurate diagnosis is important prior to treatment.  This way you will know if all three problems are related and what can be done for each.

Question 10

i have itchy red bumps on my face , the inside roof of my mouth also has red spots then in between my fingers i have itchy dry skin what's happening to me ahh!?

Accepted Answer

Photo?: To diagnose you correctly, i would need to see the "bumps", and have more history.  Any fever or sweats? Any history of allergies? Joint pains? Recent antibiotic use? Recent trip to the dentist? Family history of connective tissue disorders or autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, or thyroid disease)?  Are any of these bumps painful?
