i was diagnosed with molluscum a month ago with a few sores on thighs, pelvic, & labia. now have a red rash with tiny bumps on labia very itchy! ideas?

Question

I have an itchy red rash on my inner thighs and labia. I scratched it to the point of tearing my skin. It's starting to scare me. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Yeast,: Contact dermatitis or other cause. See doctor for a diagnosis.

Answer 2

Dermatitis: Really tough to diagnose rashes without an exam, so other than some type of dermatitis which could include a type of candidal yeast infection, you need an exam to truly diagnose the condition. Good luck to you.

Answer 3

So close to birth: Hi are you ready? This sounds like your uterus is preparing to begin labor. The frustrating part is that we cannot predict how long this transition phase will take before you are in active labor. But, you are getting closer. Congratulations.

Answer 4

Need investigations: Varieties of diseases can cause your symptoms first pelvic exam by your gyn doctor, it could be pelvic inflammatory disease (pid). A misses appendicitis with small pelvic abscess, low blood sugar, uncontrolled diabetes , or hypertension , need simple sonogram to ct scan, endoscopy etc. You need these step by step to find cause and then the cure.

Answer 5

See a doctor: Have you seen a gastroenterologist? I would consider seeing a specialist when faced with a symptom you can't find an answer for.

Answer 6

Sometimes: A ct scan will show the ovaries in the pelvis. Only significant and sometimes advanced changes of ovarian cancer such as excess fluid in the pelvis may be noticeable.

Answer 7

MAYBE: Although a contrast-enhanced ct--or, better still, a pelvic ultrasound--are preferred methods for visualizing the ovaries, a non-contact ct would likely show nonspecific irregularities of the ovaries. Bottom line: pelvic ultrasound is the best choice for visualizing ovaries.

Answer 8

Not usually: A much better test to detect ovarian cancer would be a transvaginal ultrasound.

Answer 9

Not necessarily...: Seeing ovarian cancer or not from ct without contrast is less desirable and accurate. But if an ovarian cancer is big and calcified, it can be easily suspected as how it may look. But, following the specific ct protocol for a specific suspected tumor so to have better visualization and diagnosis is highly recommended. Detail? Ask radiologist.

Answer 10

Atarax (hydroxyzine): Atarax (hydroxyzine) does not cause itching rather, stopping the drug causes the suppressed itch to come out once again.

Answer 11

Atarax (hydroxyzine) lessens itch: More likely the itching was there while taking the atarax, (hydroxyzine) but as an antihistamine it was covering up the itch. When it was stopped the itching became evident.

Answer 12

Consider tumor.: Weight loss and anemia can contribute to both fatigue and dizzyness. The question is is the anemia related to the pelvic pain. Hypothetically the answer is yes. Tumors of the sigmoid colon, rectum, bladder, uterus ovaries or prostate can cause anemia and the related symptoms although high on the list are colorectal cancers. See your md for possible colonoscopy and/or ct scan of the pelvis.
