Are red bumps all over the skin an Allergic Reaction? Posted: 08-30-06 12:17pm
I have small red bumps on my skin, on on
the back of my hand and forearm, another
on my leg. They dont look like acne and
they itch slightly at first. Also, many
places on my body itch (upper back, chest,
thighs, buttocks, groin) without anything
noticeable. There are also red bumps on
my buttocks that I am unsure of. They do
not appear to be acne, eventhough they are
similar. I had a bigger (nickel size) red
bump appear on my arm last night and
nearly disappear by morning. There is
another one of these in the crease of my
breast. I was using goldbond but that
seemed to be making the problem worse. Is
this an allergic reaction?
I took claritan and it feels very mildly
better, but i still tich all over... it
gets worse after sweating or being in the
heat. Im going to see my doctor but would
really like any other opinions.
According to the description you have
given, you could be experiencing anything
(acne, allergy, furuncles etc.). I
recommend you visit your doctor and then a
dermatologist, if necessary.
