Question 1

i have an itchy welt like rash on neck, eyes, elbows, pelvis and legs. now developing bruise like soreness at the base of both palms.

Accepted Answer

This is unusual: Leah, you really need to see a clinician both to get relief from the symptoms and find the cause.  You can take over the counter antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for the itching, but the soreness is strange and could mean it is something more than just an allergy.  Good luck!

Question 2

i have itchy welts and rashes, my whole body itches, remedy?

Accepted Answer

Drug reaction: If you have started taking any new medications that caused the rash then try stopping the medicin ad see if it will improve other wise you have to see your doctor could be serious.

Question 3

i've recently started getting really itchy all over my body but the worse spot is my stomach, back and my thighs. there are no noticable bumps or rashes but when i do end up itching them i get some pretty extreme welts. what could possibly be causing this

Accepted Answer

Urticaria/Hives: It sounds likely you have some trouble with hives (medically called urticaria) and the hunt for a specific cause is often illusive. They are often intermittent and when they occur, can be quite itchy and distressing to the affected. Make sure you keep cool, moturize skin, and take some otc zyrtec or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) regularly for a couple of weeks. If not better, consult your doc. Good luck.

Question 4

i have a rash. one doc said bed bugs. the next said eczema. they are sporadic welts ann patches of red rashes. any insight? very itchy. on tummy &back

Accepted Answer

Eczema: Both of the diagnoses are plausible.  Bed bug bites also happen often on the arms and legs.  Also, you may find them if you search and you might notice a pungent odor.  If these are not the case, it is more likely eczema. Try the treatment they have prescribed for a few weeks and see if the symptoms are eliminated.

Question 5

i have  a itchy rash on my inner thighs, stomach waist for 2 weeks. they look like welts. i use a cream that was prescribed before and helps a little.

Accepted Answer

Hives: This rash sounds like hives. Try taking a long-acting oral antihistamine like cetirizine or fexofenadine. Try an identify any triggers that could have caused the hives. If hives last a long time, it is likely not an environmental or food trigger. See your primary care physician or an allergist for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Dermatology referral: There is no adequate way to diagnose your grandma without seeing the rash and taking a full history. You should get her to a dermatologist who can make a specific diagnosis and then choose affective treatment.

Question 8

why does my skin purple/red just like rashes and also something like a bruise in it? it is sometimes itchy too. i also have fever right now. i am worried what is happening to me. i can't go to the hospital and talk to a doctor. pls help me?

Accepted Answer

Allergic purpura?: Skin bruise-like bleeding is referred to as "purpura" and when it is combined with allergic rash, "allergic purpura"; this implies that you probably had an allergic reaction to something in your environment (food, clothing, chemical, bug bite etc) which injured your skin capillaries and thus manifested as rash-bruise.  Avoid the cause; take an over the counter antihistamine; check with your dr

Question 9

itching all over past 2 days. won't stop. no rash welts bites nothing.  live with my 4yr old son. he is not itchy. any idea?

Accepted Answer

Itching no rash: Commonest cause of itching without rash is dry skin.Other is scabies which is ccaused by a mite which buries under the skin and causes intense itching
other rare causes are liver and kidney diseases
you can consult your family doctor or a dermatologist to find the cause.

Question 10

im experiencing red itchy bumps that turn into rashes in random spots of my body no new products or anything when they heal they bruise ?

Accepted Answer

Red random rashes: More info needed, and visual exam, to begin to guess what could be going on. Dermatologists are the best at diagnosing this type of problem, especially if biopsy is appropriate. It could be a form of atopic dermatitis (eczema) or something more serious like vasculitis, low platelet count, or even scabies. Trusted products can sensitize too, after long use; contact dermatitis is always possible.
