rash that is all over my body. my palms too. itches sometimes and gets really red after shower? barely see it most of time.

Accepted Answer

Small bumps present?: If you have noted small red and itchy bumps after showering, it may be from a condition known as cholinergic urticaria which occurs when the body temperature rises and starts to cool down.  If this is what you have, this is not a serious condition and can usually be helped by taking an antihistamine before any activity causing a rise in body temperature. (exercise, stress, hot shower etc).

Question 6

hi, i have had the swelling on the back of hand not palm for 3 days now, and it itches occasionally ?

Accepted Answer

Hand swelling: Hand swelling not due to injury or an insect bite and  with associated itching suggests angioedema which is an allergic reaction. However this type of swelling generally subsides after 24 hours or so. For this reason I  feel an insect bite is more likely in your case. If the hand swelling persists, becomes painful or develops redness, have a physician examine you for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 7

Hand rash: It can be eczema or contact allergy, or related to sweating, you need to see a doctor to examine it and give you a proper diagnosis.

the palm of both my hands have been pealing little by little and small bumps that hurt when i pick at it for a week now and now it itches what is it?

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis: Skin rashes are difficult to diagnose when seen, and almost impossible to diagnose over the computer.  You have some skin eruption and non-specific dermatitis.  See the Dr. for an evaluation, so the most definitive diagnosis can be made, and the best treatment will follow, Best wishes.

Accepted Answer

The : The skin lesion you are describing might be an allergic reation to an insect bite and she might be having an allergic reaction to it.  Unfortunately skin lesions you describe can also represent a MRSA (methicillin resistant staph) infection.  The symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea and chills make me more worried of the serious skin infection.  Please realize that this can be quite serious.  I hope she is still well at this time.  She really should be seen by her pediatrician, or family physician as soon as possible to make sure this more serious infection is not a problem.
