Question 1

i have a no pain lipoma on my outter thigh. i have had 15+ years. it gets extremely itchy rash the last 2 yrs until the skin bleeds. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

See derm: A lipoma does not bleed or itch. Need to see dermatologist.

Question 2

both forearms red with an itchy rash?

Accepted Answer

There are lots...: ...Of possibilities, but this time of year it is most likely to be an allergic response to something that came in contact with your arms, such as poison ivy, particularly if you've been working in the garden or camping or clearing weeds. Over-the-counter creams are too weak for such rashes, so let a dermatologist give you a precise diagnosis and treatment.

Question 3

what makes my 4 year old break out in itchy rash whenever she eats anything with tomatoes?

Accepted Answer

Food sensitivity: There are many food items that can trigger a skin rash/hives in kids or adults as a form of food allergy. Some are somewhat mild with a rash persisting for up to a few days while the material passes through the intestines. Some could progress to be more intense with cramping pain or swelling of facial features.I would consider avoiding it for the future or have specific testing done to confirm it.

Question 4

i just woke up with a rash coverinf my whole body. it is an extremely itchy rash with white bumps. i've taken two allergax but nothing has made it better yet?

Accepted Answer

Rash:  If the rash cover pretty much your entire body - recommend eval. These lesions would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.

Question 5

woke up with an itchy rash on my left arm.

Accepted Answer

Rash: More information is needed. I suggest having a doctor see it in person.

Question 6

iam getting an itchy rash with red bumps on my body from past 3 months.what i have to do to cure it permenantly?

Accepted Answer

Find the cause?: Good morning, nagel
itchy rash with red bumps suggests that your immune system is trying to reject something such as an allergen or a virus. The itching is a signal that something is not right. Your doctor will try to find the cause for the problem by doing some tests and then try to cure it permanently. If it is due to an allergen, practice avoidance. However, finding the cause is the first step.

Question 7

does tanning help clear up pityriasis rosea? i know tanning is bad, but im suffering with this itchy rash and i dont go over board with tanning.

Accepted Answer

No: Phototherapy using UVA and UVB is used to treat various skin conditions, including pityriasis rosea in rare cases when the itch cannot be controlled by other means.  However, tanning beds are not suited for this purpose as they typically emit only UVA. Phototherapy using UVA is done in a manner that quantifies dosing and may incorporate topical sensitizers that helps target the treatment.

Question 8

i have been taking diovan (valsartan) for 5+ years with no discernible side effects. but recently developed a painful itchy rash.which has persisted for 3 months.

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Although Diovan (valsartan) is quite safe medicine to use and he have taken it for more than 5 years, but still a chance of allergy cannot be ruled out.

I still think that the rash needs an expert consultation, and may be a biopsy. Sometimes it may be eczema and other time may be more sinister than that. Time to see a dermatologist.

Question 9

i was taking hydroxychloroquine to help with my ra symptoms and it was going really well, finally felt like my old self!  unfortunately, after taking it for almost 4 weeks i developed an itchy rash, if i stay on it will the rash eventually go away?

Accepted Answer

Drug rash: The timing is consistent with an allergic drug rash due to hydroxychloroquine, but you should confirm it with the doctor who prescribed it. She is the one to advise you whether to continue or stop treatment, or perhaps use a different treatment. Good luck.

Question 10

??Hives"": Red, raised and itchy rash that looks like mosquit-bites but can coalesce into much larger patches is characteristic of hives. But it often is not painful. It sounds like he should have a doctor take a look at this for better diagnosis and treatment.
