Question 1

what does it mean when you have blood in your stool and itchy red bumps on skin?

Accepted Answer

May not be related: Blood in the stool is abnormal and depending on bright red blood vs. Dark, tarry black stools may help doctor to know which part of the GI tract is affected.  This should be checked out!  a rash of itchy red bumps also has a  number of possible diagnoses.  Take a photo of rash if it seems to come/go so the photo can be shown to the doctor.  These may or may not be related.

Question 2

my pubic hair has grown out and now i have very itchy red bumps all over my pubic region. is this a skin irritation or something more serious ?

Likely Follicilitis: If you've shaved that area you are prone to developing a Follicilitis of the hair roots.  This can become infected or just cause bumpy areas.

Question 4

i have itchy red bumps on my legs. sometimes i find a few on my hands and arms too. they come every few days but always in different spots. they are a red bump but can sometimes make an entire area of my skin red?

Accepted Answer

: Rashes should be examined before moving on to causes and treatment. Urticaria (hives) are common, wax and wane over time, and leave no mark. They can recur over days, weeks, months, or years. The longer they recur, the harder it is to find a cause. Itching can be treated with Zyrtec (cetirizine) or other over-the-counter antihistamines. Seek an allergist to identify the culprit, if there is one

Question 5

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?

Question 6

i have broken out into a severe skin allergy due to fleas infestation on my dog. itchy red bumps, spreading. hydrocortisone how long?pain in joints

Accepted Answer

7-10 days: Consult physician for stronger medication. OK to use OTC antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or Zyrtec

Question 7

i was scratching my chest and itchy red bumps appeared  and i scratched some more  it spread what is it?  i never had this before

Accepted Answer

Local: Local urticarial reaction to irritation, pressure, scratching. It is just how sensitive your skin is. It will calm down on its own.

Question 8

i have itchy red  bumps on my vagina. they come up with hair inside them. when i pull them out the pust up and start to hurt. now it spread. ?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis: Inflammation of the hair follicles that can become infected with bacteria 
use anti-bacterial cleansers.

Question 9

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 10

i have itchy red bumps on my togue and have not eaten any new foods

Accepted Answer

Inflammed papillae: Most likely taste bud or papillae on your tounge have bcome inflammed due to a prior burn, cut, viral infection, or bacterial infection.   Inflamed  papillae are very common symptom and not one that should cause overwhelming concern. If you have a high fever and other symptoms of infection then you should contact your doctor.  Cold viruses, flu viruses, hpv , herpes viruses can cause this symptom.
