Wrist rash: It's possible that you had an allergic reaction and contact dermatitis from the bandage. Cellulitis(skin bacterial infection) usually burns and reddens instead of itching. Apply a corticosteroid ointment, but if spreading redness and/or burning develops, see your physician for evaluation and treatment.

Question 8

this morning i got a small itchy bump on my wrist, after scratching it, it spread around my wrist more. they are skin colored and flat. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Itchy Bumps: It is hard for me to say without looking.  In general, widesprad, aymmetrical, red and itchy bumps tend to be caused by a virus, rather than an allergy.  They often hang around for a while, and go away without treatment.  If yours have lasted weeks and started to spread, i would advise that you show them to a doctor, since only in that way can you get a definitive diagnosis.
