Question 3

hi, i have been getting itchy bumps in my scalp. they appear suddenly small and then grow in size getting itchy and painful, then subside on their own?

Accepted Answer

Hair dye?: You may have developed a contact allergy to hair dye (if you do dye your hair) or other hair preparations. The onset of reaction is usually from 24 to 72 hrs after exposure. Thus if you dye your hair once every month, the reaction will start in 24-72 hrs and subside a week or two after until the next contact. If you don't dye your hair, then will have to go another route.

Question 4

See below: Have you tried changing detergents.Sounds like a contact dermatitis and need to get a hypoallergenic detergent such as drift,etc. Also never wear new clothes without washing them first as they may have chemical that irritate skin.If that does not help look at lotions or other things that touch the skin.

Question 8

what are these small itchy bumps on the back of my hand the suddenly appear out of no where?

Accepted Answer

Itchy bumps: These itchy bumps may be insect bites or hives. The latter would suggest an allergic reaction. Antihistamine medications like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or claritin(nondrowsy) should relieve itching. If these bumps continue to appear, have them examined by your physician or dermatologist.

Question 9

i have white itchy bumps on my knuckles and a cluster of itchy bumps around my elbow that appear out of no where?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps Psoriasis: The location of the skin condition you are describing reminds me of Psoriasis.  This is a chronic medical skin condition that can come and go. Some feel that it is genetically linked. Did a parent have this condition? In any respect it usually is treated with topical steroids, more severe cases need oral meds. Check with your PCP, send a photo, or see a dermatologist for work up.

Question 10

i have red itchy bumps on my knuckles and they would appear and disappear. they're also always in the same spot ( my knuckles) what is it?

Accepted Answer

Contact dermatitis : Red itchy bumps are often caused by an allergic reaction, such as insect bites or contact with chemicals/substances as in contact dermatitis.

Another condition is dyshydrotic eczema which presents commonly with small fluid filled blisters. Cause is unknown but may be related to allergies or stress.

Rare autoimmune diseases such as granuloma annulare may also present similarly.
