Question 1

raised red bumps on legs spreading on back and arms, some itchy.
also had a cut on my thigh and it became an allergy also :(

Accepted Answer

Rash: This is hard to determine without evaluation. If ongoing, you should make an appointment. You could have hives and dermatographism. If you have hives, I would consider using benadryl at night and claritin during the day.

Question 2

i have tons of defined circular, raised red bumps on both legs, between my knees & ankles. they often itch. no new soaps, not razor burn. advice?

Accepted Answer

Fungus: I see that you've tried Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and hydrocortisone. The next step is to see your podiatrist. There's a stronger cream that is dual action called Lotrisone that combines antifungal properties with reducing itch and swelling.  Fungus travels to the legs when you scratch your feet in an upwards toward the legs. It can also be a drug allergy or reaction to new laundry detergent, sheets, socks, jeans.

Question 3

for the past month i have been experiencing weird raised red bumps on my arms and legs. it only happens if i scratch, and they go away quickly, help!

Accepted Answer

Itching: One thing it could be would be lichen simples chronicus.  This is an itchy skin condition that can be very troublesome.  Try an over the counter Hydrocortisone cream twice a day for a few weeks and if it doesn't help see a dermatologist.

Question 4

i have non itchy raised red bumps on my inner thighs. ten on each leg in clusters. didn't even notice them until i saw them.

Accepted Answer

Thigh rash: your rash could be an allergic reaction, fungal infection or some kind of folliculitis (inflammation/infection around your hair follicles).  Could also be a viral infection such as common warts.  Infections are typically painful and swollen and can spread quickly if not treated.  Best to see your doctor or a dermatologist to determine what it is.  Hard to diagnose without seeing it.

Question 5

i have itching all over my body. especially my hands,feet,back,legs and arms. raised red bumps. ?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reaction: These may be hives. A generalized allergic reaction to something external or internal is likely. Think of what you ate ,used or handled shortly before this reaction. Take an antihistamine like benadryl(can cause drowsiness) or claritin(nondrowsy), but I feel benadryl would be more effective. A dermatologist or allergist should be consulted if you get no relief.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Possible: Infection from scratching. Sounds like a dermatitis of some variety. Try otc cortisone and if this doesn't help see dermatologist.

Question 8

i have raised red bumps on my arms and back. i have had these bumps for around a week and a half. ?

Accepted Answer

Rash: If the rash is itchy, an allergic reaction is suspected. A viral illness is also a possibility. If the rash persists or worsens, a dermatologist should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 9

what condition involves raised red bumps that itch?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: There are many conditions that can cause raised red bumps that itch.  This include  eczema, contact allergy, hives, bug bites, dry skin and many others.  Without actually seeing you, it would be hard to diagnose what you have.   Best to see a dermatologist!

Question 10

i have 2 raised red bumps on base of penis?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Rashes are hard to describe and hard to visualize in words. Rashes of bumps at the base of the penis may be blackheads (comedones) or be folliculitis, which is an infection in the little hair follicles in the skin. Rashes that itch a lot may be allergic reactions and/or skin infections. A primary care doctor or a dermatologist can evaluate to decide on a diagnosis and talk about treatment options.
