Question 1

medium, red raised bumps on middle of spine. these have been occurring for a month. no pain, it almost looks like a bruise. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Hard to speculate without seeing you. Go to your primary care doctor and the new lesion checked out.

Question 2

i have a small patch of itchy and painful red bumps in the center of my spine. just showed up, i can feel the skin a little tighter that area.

Accepted Answer

Rash/itchy: If only on one side of your back, it could be shingles, and you should go see a doctor today to start the medication for it (there is a window of 48 hrs to start the meds). If the rash is on both sides of your back, it isn't shingles, and then, you could try an OTC hydrocortisone cream twice a day for up to 1 week, no longer. Avoid scratching the area. If it is getting worse, see a doctor.

Question 3

have small painful and itchy red bumps starting in middle of my spine. nauseous, chills, night sweats. bumps starting to go towards right side of back?

Accepted Answer

See dr: Sounds like an unpleasant infection. You are a bit young for shingles, which would give bumps to blisters on one side like you describe. I suggest you visit an urgent care center, your PCP, or if high fever or vomiting, perhaps the ER. Night sweats, chills, and nausea alone indicate an infection such as influenza or even tuberculosis. Please seek help ASAP.

Question 4

i have had small red bumps on my back along my spine for a month or so. i currently have a sinus infection and bad cough. the bumps have become itchy.

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: The rash on your back may be due to cintact dermatitisor possibly sweat dermatitis caused by your sinus infection which may be making you perspire. Try to dressin cool pajamas and use a moisturizer for your back.

Question 5

period like cramps, lower back pain. 3-4 tiny red bumps in middle of spine that hurt if i touch. what could this be? bumps are 2-3 days old.

Accepted Answer

Shingles?: The red bumps should be examined in person. Without a picture or face to face exam it will be difficult. However shingles might explain these symptoms. Have your doctor take a look at these rashes and your back pain. Good luck

Question 6

what are the red bumps at the back of my tonge?

Accepted Answer

Red bumps: Red bumps in back of throat could be taste buds.

Question 7

why do i have red bumps on the back of my clit?

Accepted Answer

Various: Small bumps on the skin surrounding the clitoris could be small skin cysts. They are usually pink like the surrounding skin.  Sometimes certain infections can cause bumps- like condylomata or molluscum. Having your doctor examine the bumps would be necessary to know for sure.

Question 8

im 26 yrs. old and had a red bumps at back of my tounge?

Accepted Answer

Taste Buds: Provided that these bumps are not a symptom of underlying disease, i.e. There is no pain, swelling, bleeding, burning sensation, or discomfort of any kind, they are taste buds. The major test buds are in the posterior part of the tongue. They are called circumvallate papillae and number from 8 to 14.

Question 9

my boyfriend gets really red bumps around the hairs on his back.. what could it be? how could we treat it?

Accepted Answer

Red bumps on back: This is probably an infection, perhaps folliculitis.  Your boyfriend needs to see his doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 10

what are these disgusting red bumps and sores starring back at me each time i look at the mirror?

Accepted Answer

Get seen: I'm not going to venture a guess. But just from your description, you need to be seen by a competent physician without delay. Acne or leprosy, it can probably be treated.
