Just developed a rash on the outside if my elbows and top of one hand. Small itchy bumps. I'm in nicaragua for vacation. What could it be?

Answer 1

It is almost: impossible to diagnose a skin rash without direct visual and/or tactile examination. Please see a healthcare provider for proper examination and diagnosis then treatment. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Answer 2

Hand Eczema: Due to a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Loss of the barrier protection of the skin, often due to "wet work"(prolonged water exposure), plus an allergic/sensitivity/irritant/contact dermatitis to: chemicals,detergents,vegetables-fruits, preservatives and fragrances in soap etc. Info on Eczema:>http://bit.ly/1MN25er and Rx: http://bit.ly/1U8G1MO and http://bit.ly/26jFD2X

Answer 3

A few things : This depends on the examination. This depends on what activities you're doing when it occurs. In the back you have muscles, bones, joints, discs, bursas, tendons and ligaments. Any of these alone or together can cause symptoms. Your evaluation will clarify this.

Answer 4

MANY: There are many things that may cause neck & lower back pain. The 2 most common is sprain/strains, and arthritis. Others are disc herniations, infections, tumors, fractures, and congenital deformities. If you are experiencing pain and it does not respond to heat, rest, and stretching exercises, i would suggest that you see your pcp for an evaluation.

Answer 5

Many possible causes: It's been suggested that the 'most common causes' may be 'sprain/strain and arthritis.Possibly, true-don't have the stats-but i find the most common easily reversible causes r dysfunctions of thoracic & cervical spine & ribs.A good history followed by proper exam & possible testing, including a good osteopathic hands-on exam could lead, in many cases, to quick resolution of pain, right in office.

Answer 6

Many things: In this short space i can't even begin to list all the possible causes. See your pcp if this is a chronic problem.

Answer 7

Arthritis: The most common place for arthritis of the hand is at the base of the thumb. This can cause pain in the fleshy part of thumb, known as the thenar emminance. See a board certified orthopaedic hand surgeon for evaluation and treatment.

Answer 8

Depends on u & type: This depends on the type of surgery done and what condition you are in at the time of surgery and whether there were any complications with the surgery. For an outpatient microdisectomy, it can range from activity restriction for several weeks and some home exercises to a full fledged physical therapy program of at least 6 weeks with a more involved surgery like a multilevel fusion.

Answer 9

Varies: It depends completely on the nature of the surgery performed. Some of the minimally invasive surgeries we perform have little or no down time. Other, much more extensive surgeries, may have recovery times that extend several months. Thank you for your question.

Answer 10

No: A boil is an infection from an organism on the skin. There are also glands that can become occluded and these sebaceous glands will drain a malodorous thick material but they are not always infected. See your doctor for treatment but not related to eggs.

Answer 11

It's a Myth: A boil is most of the time an infected cyst under the skin. It must be drained from all the pus under very clean ( aseptic) conditions, and most of the time needs an antibiotic to be taken . We are concerned about MRSA ( serious infection), so i recommend to be seen by a doctor , who will do the procedure in the office, under local anaeasthesia and probably take cultures of the wound if necessary.
