Question 1

i've had a cluster of skin colored bumps on my left elbow for 3 weeks. there is no itching and no rash. what can i buy over the counter to cure it?

Bumps: This could be molluscum contagiosum or other warts.   Over time,  these will go away but it may be months.  An over-the-counter wart remover may work, but dermatologists have better tricks up their sleeves.

Question 2

my 4 year old son has clusters of small skin colored bumps on his wrist (inside), underarms, elbows, and knees. then there are some on his torso. ?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities are...: Greetings.The bumps described can be from several different causes. Viruses can cause firm flesh colored bumps that are similar to warts. Mites such as scabies can look like this in early stages. Sensitive skin can also cause these types of bumps. Some of these causes require treatment and some just obsevation. I recommend a visit to your Pediatrician to asses if treatment is needed. Best regards.

Question 9

in the last few days i have been getting random tiny skin colored bumps that itch like crazy! after i itch them theres a tiny little red dot on top!

Accepted Answer

Hives?: If the spots don't increase, they might be just bug bites. If they keep increasing, then they might be hives, an allergic reaction (of course there could also be multiple bugs causing new bites). Otc creams or gels that contain 1% Hydrocortisone or the skin anesthetic pramoxine can both be helpful (the dr. Can advise on what age range the meds can be used in). The dr. May want to examine the rash.
