Question 1

what could these pinprick red dots on skin that are not itchy be from?

Accepted Answer

Possibly angiomas: Which are benign lesions. They can occur anywhere and they can increase over time.

Question 2

unprotected oral sex two months ago.  now white tongue with red spots. dry itchy skin all over, chills. bumps on pubic area. is herpes? syphilis? hiv?

Accepted Answer

Herpes? Syphilis: Please see your Gynecologist as soon as possible. Explain your worries, then the doctor will examine you and, finally you are likely to have blood work done.
May take a day or two to get the result.

Question 3

for 1 year my daughter has an outbreak of small red dots every time she takes a shower -upper body under skin. itchy. can it be a bug? what do we do

Accepted Answer

Bug=no: This sounds more like a reaction to soap or shampoo  aggravated by the heat of the shower water. "Bugs"-germs do not trigger recurrent breakouts with bathing over a year. If it disappears after a brief period I would either ignore it or try other products.

Question 4

i get extremely itchy skin usually on my legs and when i itch it i get raised bumps and red pin point dots and it itches more. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Dry skin?: Try applying a moisturizer on your legs within 3 minutes after bathing (daily bathing is encouraged) to see if this helps (may take a couple of weeks).  Avoid scented or anti-bacterial soap. If the problem fails to resolve, consult a dermatologist.

Question 5

hi i am feeling light headed, dizzy, feels like i am in a bubble dazed like i am floating. vomiting, cold sweat, burning itchy skin tiny red dots, sleepy feeling and headaches in the morning? just came back from bali feeling like this for a week now

Accepted Answer

Hydration: It would be prudent to see a doctor for an evaluation. In the mean time increase your fluid intake. Drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless.
Wish you good health!.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 6

pin point red dots on wrist and yellow/brown bruise. itchy skin all over. few lumps on legs, sore muscles, nerve pain. allergies? the rash went in 20m

Accepted Answer

Difficult to say: It is difficult to say what this could be.  It could be urticara.  You might want to have this evaluated if it reoccurs.

Question 7

itchy skin on my back, sides of stom and back of neck. no bumps or redness unless i scratch then feels hot after..

Accepted Answer

Dermatographic: This may or may not be a chronic situation.  Try taking antihistamine to see if it helps.  Sometimes dry skin can also cause this type of reaction and thus applying a moisturizer &lt;3 minutes after bathing may help.  If problem persists, see derm or allergist.

Question 8

do you think i'll need to seek a doctor advice and help if i have redness, rash and itchy skin?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: You can try an OTC cortisone cream on the area but if it doesn't improve then you need to see a doctor.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: It depends on what is really going on and should be seen by a doctor. It could be contact dermatitis, allergic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, Lupus, Rosacea, and other etiologies. Each condition would be approached a little different in regards to work-up and treatment.
