Question 1

why do i have notciable bumps on my elbow after i came from the beach? what i did there is just put beach water on my arms and rubed sand on arm.rinse

Accepted Answer

Likely irritation: Your skin likely has a topical reaction to the exposure; possibly, rubbing sand irritated your skin. Try topical Hydrocortisone cream 1% 2-3 times a day for a few days. 
If there is redness and swelling, there might have been an exposure triggering an allergic reaction. In this case, try benedryl 50mg every 6 hr for 1-2 days.
If it continues or is problematic, call your md.

Question 2

Question 4

red bumps on my elbows and knuckles, what are they?

See a dermatologist: It is difficult to make a proper diagnosis since I am not there to see the condition. I recommend seeing a dermatologist so that they can make a proper diagnosis and give you something to get rid of the condition or relieve symptoms.

Question 5

so i have bumps on my elbows and my knees. i went to the pediatrician to see what they are but they did not figure it out so i wanted to see if you can?

Without an exam ??: "Bumps" is not much of a description and certainly not enough to analyze on line. If it persists, ask your doc for a referral to a dermatologist for further evaluation.

Question 6

especially after a hot bath/shower, i keep getting random itchy bumps on my elbows and back. they look similar to mosquito bites. ?

Accepted Answer

Urticaria: Some people develop urticaria in hot water. So try to avoid hot water; (try lukewarm instead.). Use a mild soap when bathing &amp; cool compresses on the hives.

Question 7

i experience a elbow rash, small white/red bumps on my elbows. they dont itch or pain. they disappear after a few days and then resurface.

Accepted Answer

Elbow rash: Common rashes of the elbow include cellulitis, dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. You have a recurring rash without itch. You also describe pustules. Cellulitis typically does not come and go neither does psoriasis. Although no itching a contact dermatitis would be most likely.  Could be just skin getting dry. See if moisurizer effects the rash.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

PSORIASIS: sometimes starts on the outside of the elbows.

Just a thought!
