Accepted Answer

: May have damaged sensory nerve(s). Will likely get better on its own.

Question 2

dark patches appeared on skin first on side of knee then now on torso and arms with itchy skin?

Accepted Answer

Dark patches: You may have a fungal condition. Consult your doctor or a dermatologist.

Question 3

non itchy skin color raised patch no scale over both elbows & knees, all of same duration treated with mild steroid no response. probable diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to know: A chronic rash is difficult to diagnose without more information about you and visualization of the rash.  A Virtual consult may help.  With the information given, granuloma annulare comes to mind. Usually there is a central depression within a ring sized flesh colored patch.  If stretched, you will likely see smaller papules. They sometimes herald thyroid disease. Low potency steroids fail.

Question 4

i have been having itchy skin colored small bumps going away and coming back behind both knees and on my butt cheeks for the last week. there might be 1 or 2 on my abdomen as well but they go away pretty fast there. my boyfriend has not had them?

Accepted Answer

: It could be Eczema. I would advise you to avoid itching and leave the area of itching alone for a while.
It is nothing serious. If the rash gets worse, you should get an examination by your family doctor. He/she may advise you to use a local application of anti-itching medicine some of which are available over the counter.

Question 5

small marble lump near my groin right side. wasn't noticeable until feeling around. slight itchy skin on off. had ovary cyst symptoms pain in knees?

Accepted Answer

See details: Possibilities include a lymph node, a cyst and even a hernia. Have it evaluated if you are concerned.

Question 6

i have itchy skin on my leg but use prescription cream but still itchy what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Depends: on what current prescription you are using. I would advise washing off any cream you have applied and try using OTC Lubriderm.

Question 7

i got dry and itchy skin during winter. now, i get red itchy spot on my skin, but only a few on arm, leg and my body. what is the diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Lubricate: High doses of marine fish oil and/or coconut oil can help lubricate from the inside, not just outside.  Please avoid lotions w/alcohol in them because they are drying.  Winter is high season for dry skin.  Check with a dermatologist for a diagnosis.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

itchy skin with bruising. leg cramps at night and reflux?

Accepted Answer

See your doc: There are many reasons for the "symptoms" you are having. Your doc needs to discuss with your and obtain some labs and see what is going on.

Question 9

itchy skin turns into fast spreading rash like bumps when scratched. both arms and right leg. do have allergies & asthma. not on meds for allergies.

Accepted Answer

Eczema: Usually an itch that turns to rash when scratched is eczema or atopic dermatitis.  This is associated with allergies.  Maybe start taking your allergy medications again.

Question 10

also, now instead of just red itchy skin it's now getting tiny little blister looking things. the entire rash is covered with tiny bumpy blistery looking things. and its spreading up my stomach as well as down into my pelvic area and on my arms & leg?

Accepted Answer

Eval: These lesions would require medical history, visualization and possible testing to be able to provide an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan.
