skin colored bumps flare up when itching / itched - blood spots Posted: 09-01-07 00:34am
I couldnt figure out how to ask a medical
question.. I hope this is it :)
Here it is.. please help!!!! I dont have
medical insurance and Im just wondering if
this is serious enough to seek help beyond
this. I started itching on my legs about 5
weeks ago.. and it was terrible but I
thought it was associated to getting waxed
and was waiting for it to pass.. 2 weeks
later, it moved to my arms.. not it is on
my hands, my neck part of my back and
moving up my face and ears.. You cant see
it unless I scratch it. Then it flares up
as skin colored bumbs EVERYWHERE!!! Then,
as if that wasent enough.. I lightly
scratch myself now and I have blood spots
under my skin like I got severely hit by
something.. it is really scary.. any
thoughts??? What could this be??
Thank you so much! Im a mother to twin
babies and a 4 year old.. I have to be
healthy for them, but its hard without
health insurance.. so, can you help??
Thank you again,
Nina Douck
It is very hard to diagnose your problem
without seeing the skin lesions. The
“skin colored bumps” and “blood
spots under the skin” HAVE TO be seen by
a doctor or dermatologist would be the
best. Blood analyses (blood count,
sedimentation rate coagulation status,
liver status, kidney status etc.) should
be also done. Those skin lesions can be
also due to a disorder located outside the
skin (for example a hematological
disorder).
