Question 1

i have a painful red rash all over my buttocks, hips, upper thighs and sides.  they are very red, "angry looking".  were itchy for a brief time?

Accepted Answer

Shingles: Shingles is a skin rash caused by a nerve and skin inflammation from the same virus that previously caused chickenpox. This virus is called the varicella zoster virus (VZV) and belongs to the herpes family of viruses. After an individual has chickenpox, this virus lives dormant in the nervous system and is never fully cleared from the body. Under certain circumstances the virus goes to the skin.

Question 2

: This doesn't sound like any STD. There are many other possible causes. See a doctor:  COVID-19 always is a possibility these days, especially if you haven't been vaccinated and you should be tested for it. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Can,t make diagnosis: It is not possible to diagnose the type of lump from description or size of lump. Best to get checked  and  if needed get excisional biopsy. That way you will know for sure . It does not necessarily mean it is serious as it could be simple cyst as well but better to talk to your doctor.

Question 7

itchy left hip since last 3 month's... itching occurs mainly at night... there are no scares or bumps on hip... but itching gets so worst at times tha?

Accepted Answer

Try Vaseline: Generally this is due to overly dry skin and can be treated with emollients like petroleum jelly.  particularly if it occurs at night when using a greasy skin product may be less cumbersome.  would try this as a first measure
