Question 1

my son has white bumps on the bottom of his feet. they are very itchy and he is scratching himself raw. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: itchiness suggests allergic reaction, and the most itchy would be a reaction to scabies, which can be quite prominent in young kids.  Alternatively would be a contact allergy to a chemical in his shoes or dyshydrotic eczema.  Until he can be seen, cool compresses and an oral antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may calm the itch

Question 3

Question 4

what could be the cause of itchy bumps all over the body(legs, arms, neck, top and bottom of feet, sometimes face and hands) that come and go?

Accepted Answer

Itchy red bumps: The description of itchy red bumps that come and go is very much the description of hives.  Hives or urticaria is very common affecting 25% of people.  Sometimes there is swelling.  Causes are many and unfortunately treatments available are fewer.  While hives are not dangerous or contagious, the itching can be very uncomfortable.  Allergist or dermatologist can assist in diagnosis and treatment.

Question 5

been on low dose antibiotic for a year to prevent uti. suddenly develop red bumps on legs that keep appearing and now woke up and bottom of feet are very sore and hurt, is this a drug reaction?

Possible drug rxn: This could be a drug reaction.  The skin biopsy should clarify this.  If this turns out to be a reaction to Augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) there are alternatives that our physician can prescribe to prevent UTIs.

Question 8

i have a white looking bump on the bottom of my foot that is very painfull?

Accepted Answer

See a foot doc: Your description is not enough to make a diagnosis. It could be any number of things. Hence, best to have it looked at in person.  I believe this site allows you to post pictures, if it does that would make it much easier to help you out with a diagnosis.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Appearance?: Many interesting things can appear on the sole of your feet.  Callouses, warts, ganglion cysts, calcification, moles.  Best to have it checked out at your next check up if it's always been the same for ten years. If it changes, then have it looked right away

Question 10

She should see a doc: This sounds like it could be something called dyshydrotic eczema.  It is a type of itchy bump on the bottoms of feet, and sometimes on the palms also.  Warts, corns, or other infections are also a possibility.  All are fairly easy to treat, so make sure she sees a doc.
