Question 1

little red, rash like bumps on my hands. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Rashes are quite difficult to sort out without an exam.This could be something simple like a reaction to something that touched the skin or the result of a viral infection.If it is bothersome or persistent  i would have your pcp look at it.

Question 2

i noticed small red rash-like bumps  on the shaft of my penis in several areas, and it has been  itching.  any idea what it may be?

Accepted Answer

Need to be seen!: Best thing to do is to have it checked by a dermatologist.  If the small bumps are dome shaped with a central dimple, it could be molluscum contagiosum. This is a skin rash caused by a viral infection that can spread by sexual contact. Early lesions on the genitalia may be mistaken for herpes or warts but, unlike herpes, these lesions are painless. Have it checked and diagnosed. Hope this helps.

Accepted Answer

: The rash may be inflammatory and the hydrocortisone may help, but if the rash is spreading or the lesions are enlarging, please see urgent care or your PCP. For uncomplicated insect bites, calamine lotion often may be useful. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, wheezing and difficulty swallowing. If these occur, see acute care management .

Rash : There are several things that this can be and needs to be seen to evaluate it. My experience is that is a common location for a herpes rash.

Question 9

my body has been itching for about two months now but i don't have rashes! i get little tiny red bumps but they come and go. what can this be?

Accepted Answer

Itching with no rash: The list of conditions that could cause itch without rash is long, like thyroid problems, liver or kidney disease, even malignancies among others.  Need a complete workup including a chest xray, urinalysis and stool exam for ova and parasites x 3. Also small red bumps that come and go could be a type of urticaria (hives) that is very itchy. Please see your doctor right away for proper diagnosis.

Question 10

hi i just noticed that before the head of the penis i have these red small rashes. they are not bumps, you can't feel a bump when you touch it?

Accepted Answer

Most likely, ok...: As long as no local discomfort, such rashes may suggest mild balanitis (inflammation of glans penis), which is usually related with redundant foreskin with poor local hygiene. Without detailed history and inspection, it's hard to make a firm statement. 

If any doubt, go to see an expert in the field.

Best luck...
