Q: Red Bumps
asked by: pregnancyworries on April 12th, 2006

I have these red little bumps all over my abdomen and instead of being little bumps on my breasts it's red blotch patches. These bumps are red but when they get itchy they become raised bumps with white heads. It started on my abdomen and my breasts but now it is starting to spread. Right now when any body part is itchy i'm afraid of scratching because i'm afraid of it spreading even more. It's slowly starting to spread to my arms, legs, face and back. I went to see my doctor but she has no clue what it is. My other major concern is that i'm currently 14 weeks pregnant and i'm afraid of whatever I have is affecting my baby. I originally thought these bumps were a rash but when I went to the emergency room they told me I had an infection and perscribed an antibiotic. The antibiotic is cephalexin. I was put on these antiboitics for 7 days and I thought whatever I had would clear up before I finished the medication. However i'm finished the antibiotics and i'm still as itchy as I was when I first got this. It has helped clear up some the the bumps but as soon as i'm itchy the bumps are back. I'm using calomine lotion right now to help with the itching but it's only temporary relief. I find it really hard to control my self from scratching at night. Any idea of what this may be?

Ithcy red bumps. Allergy, STDs, Pregnancy
I was reading somewhere (sorry for no reference) that your rash like symptoms can occur during pregnancy. If you live in the US then I suggest your doctor was hosing you. Or else it could be bug bites, in which case I'd suggest you try cleaning your bed sheets, if you haven't already since you've started having these symptoms.

Other causes include STDs and (in my own opinion) it could be an allergic reaction. Sorry, I didn't read on to see if the allergy symptoms were included in the article of which I had gathered the previous information from.

I hope this helps... I have a similar issue but it's only located on the right breast. I used Glysomed lotion, which has stopped the itching for about an hour now.
