: There is no way to diagnose this issue without seeing it. However, the rash on the buttock could be a fungal rash and an anti-fungal cream may be helpful. The can be obtained over the counter-ask your pharmacist. If this doesn’t help, see your doctor. Good luck to you!

Angioma?: Red bumps that bleed easily are usually angiomas - small benign tumors made of blood vessels. But other things can present that way, including some types of skin cancer, so check with your doctor or a dermatologist. If it's bleeding that easily, it should be removed anyway.

Question 9

yesterday i laid in the grass for like 20 mins & now i have several nickel sized red,raised, itchy bumps on my back& arm. 1more popped up today. why?

Accepted Answer

You got bit by: some ticks.  I would consider going to see a primary care provider if it doesn't go away with over the counter steroid creams (hydrocortisone).  They may get bigger and itch worse.

Question 10

i have red itchy bumps slowly spreading on my arm. a few are on my stomach and back. they're not bed bug bites, and i'm not allergic to any soaps?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: How long this has been happening?   If Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Hydrocortisone have not helped, it is time to consult a dermatologist if the problem has been going on for more than 2 weeks or becoming intolerable.
