Accepted Answer

See below : I’m sorry to hear that, could be allergies or a reaction to some infection, please get checked by a medical doctor

Question 4

what should i do if i develop rashes (that looks almost like red welts bubbling on the skin) suddenly? it disappears almost as quickly as it forms

Accepted Answer

Get it checked: This rash would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.

Question 5

my boyfriend has had a ring shaped rash, no bumps in his calf about a week, yesterday a ring shape bruise appeared within and against the rash?

Accepted Answer

See Your Doctor: You described a few details about the rash however not enough information is given to deduce the cause. Annular shaped rashes are common; can range from fungal infections to contact dermatitis. Diagnosis of skin findings is challenging without visual inspection. Additionally, a detailed medical history is needed to assess all possible causes. See your doctor for the correct diagnosis and treatment

Question 6

i have itchy welts and rashes, my whole body itches, remedy?

Accepted Answer

Drug reaction: If you have started taking any new medications that caused the rash then try stopping the medicin ad see if it will improve other wise you have to see your doctor could be serious.

Question 7

i have severe itching accompanied by bumps, welts, and rashes - scabies or something else?

Accepted Answer

Could be scabies: You are describing either scabies or eczema (allergy). If you are also itching in hands and feet it is very likely that it is scabies. In that case all medications are prescription based so you need to see a dr. If not you may try otc Hydrocortisone cream + oral benadryl (diphenhydramine).

Question 8

i've recently started getting really itchy all over my body but the worse spot is my stomach, back and my thighs. there are no noticable bumps or rashes but when i do end up itching them i get some pretty extreme welts. what could possibly be causing this

Accepted Answer

Urticaria/Hives: It sounds likely you have some trouble with hives (medically called urticaria) and the hunt for a specific cause is often illusive. They are often intermittent and when they occur, can be quite itchy and distressing to the affected. Make sure you keep cool, moturize skin, and take some otc zyrtec or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) regularly for a couple of weeks. If not better, consult your doc. Good luck.

Question 9

what r some rashes that start as red inflamed welts that turn to blisters and burns. only happens on my wrist. i have chronic hives. what could this b?

Accepted Answer

Skin allergy: The tip off is your remark about chronic hives, which would indicate a skin allergy.

Question 10

i have a rash. one doc said bed bugs. the next said eczema. they are sporadic welts ann patches of red rashes. any insight? very itchy. on tummy &back

Accepted Answer

Eczema: Both of the diagnoses are plausible.  Bed bug bites also happen often on the arms and legs.  Also, you may find them if you search and you might notice a pungent odor.  If these are not the case, it is more likely eczema. Try the treatment they have prescribed for a few weeks and see if the symptoms are eliminated.
