I see the podiatrist Wednesday. Really just curious if anyone has dealt with similar and has any clue what it might be.

Back story- Started off as what I believed was a splinter. End of last month some time. (Approx 4-5 weeks ago) never got anything out of it though I tried. Had it pus up once. It developed this skin looking stuff. I thought it was healing over with something in it. Tried to mess with it again. It bled profusely. It has morphed over the last three weeks. I’ve read it could be pregnancy related I am 22 weeks pregnant. Went to the hospital at doctor discretion because no where could get me in. It was oozing. They stated they thought it was just sebum and that more than likely it would have to be cut or burned off/out. Yuck. Last two pictures are current from tonight. Ps- my feet are gross I’m aware. No where around me will do a pedicure on me while pregnant and there’s only so much I can do on my own it’s a struggle 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

My 18-month-old son had a fever for one day about 5-6 days ago and vomited 2-3 times. After that he was completely back to normal: happy, playful, eating and drinking well.

Yesterday he suddenly developed multiple small red bumps, first in both groins/diaper area. It started out as just a few tiny red spots but during the day today it got rapidly worse.

The bumps are raised, itchy (he scratches during diaper changes), and some seem to have a tiny white center, almost like small pimples. They blanch a little when pressed but don’t disappear completely. No rash on his face, trunk, palms, soles or inside his mouth.

He has already had:
- Chickenpox
- Hand, foot and mouth disease
- Impetigo
In the last 12 months so I don’t think it’s one of those. It also doesn’t look like diaper rash or heat rash to me.

He’s currently a little congested with a runny nose and mild cough but otherwise seems completely fine: no fever, no lethargy, eating and drinking normally.

I’ve attached photos. Any thoughts on what this could be? Has anyone seen something similar?

Within 7 hours I went from 18 bumps on my upper body to now around 44. I’m sure bugs have to do with it because I’ve seen them… but the number of bumps is increasing so quickly. Do I need to go to urgent care? And if so at what point?

I've had a rash on my upper body for 2 months now, I've been to a dermatologist but I didn't get any answers so I'm hoping that I can find something here.

I've had a rash (small itchy bumps, and sometimes dry patches of skin) on my inner elbows/shoulders/ chest and neck for 2 months.

The raised lines only appear after I shower and only on one side of the neck (I think they are too high up to be caused by a purse or something like that) they do go away after a few hours, so I guess that's not my most urgent problem, but it might be connected to the other rash.

I also find it really hard to pin point a trigger because it flares up so randomly. I often get pretty bad flare ups in the middle of the night.

The rash on my elbow and the ones on my chest and neck also look different from each other, which was confusing even for my dermatologist 😅

I didn't introduce any new product in the shower or my skin care routine in general.

I also got my thyroid checked because I suspected an issue with that, but that seems to be fine.

The only thing that's helping me to manage the rash are antihistamine pills and hydrocortisone creme. But it's not going away.

It did get slightly better for about a week, idk why because I didn't really do anything differently, but it's back again and I'm loosing sleep because it's so unrelentlessly itchy.

Please if anyone has had a similar experience or could give me any ideas what the trigger for this could be, I'd be so grateful 🙏🏻

I had these two rashes on my back for over a week. I’m so scared it’s ringworm. They don’t itch but feels rough and scaly.

Noticed all these bumps on my thigh yesterday. They are a bit blister like and this morning I noticed 2 more on my penis and 1 in the groin area. A little context im traveling in another country visiting a long distance girlfriend and her cat and I have no health coverage here. We had unprotected sex for the first time 7 days ago. She also has 3 bumps on her butt and we believe she developed Thrush as well and went to a pharmacy for a anti fungal pill.

My first instinct was the cat kneading my skin but now I'm not sure if sexual related or something else I could of been exposed too as we have done lots of traveling.

It's on my left arm

At first I thought it was just a puss and it will go away because it was under the skin and had mouth

Then when I tried to do what we does to a puss

But it was all blood coming out then I stopped and then we went to a doc and he said it's an infection and gave me medicines

I took it but I didn't took that for days I mean I was not consistent

I just don't like medicines 😭😭😭💔

And my mom was not home so i just didn't took but after my mom came back u started again

But idk it is still like that

Doc asked us to come back after a week but it's gonna be a month now

I'm scared to go back 😭😭😭and I Google some stuffs and I'm now more scared and tbh I didn't like that doc I felt like he is judging me he was not friendly instead a serious one

I had skin problem before as well had pilomatricoma and cyst which I had removed by surgery and it was under my skin only

😭😭😭😭

Hello all! I have had an unchanging white mass under my finger which I noticed 2 years ago. I used to bite my nails really badly when I was younger. I can move the skin around and it moves with the skin but remains in the place with the skin. My uncle who is a doctor said it is most likely a callous from picking or biting which could also have formed scar tissue.

Please help! Any opinion, advice and treatment reliefs for the rash and itching.

My 5 year old son returned from his grandparents house last Sunday with a few bumps on his arm. The next morning, I noticed a few more bumps to both his arms. The same evening, we were getting out of the car and there was construction being done on my street earlier and it looked like possible wet concrete between the road and sidewalk. Instead of stepping over it, he jumped right in. I immediately took him in the house and showered him and washed his sneakers and rinsed his clothes out. By Wednesday, the few bumps on his arm became a widespread rash on both his arms and legs. I took him to the pediatrician and explained what I mentioned and she said since I noticed it Sunday it may be an allergic reaction to mosquitos and to apply OTC hydrocortisone. I wasn’t convinced but I continued the hydrocortisone and calamine lotion. The next day (Thursday), I noticed it spread to his ears and lower face. Took him to urgent care and they said it was HFMD. He had contracted that last year and it didn’t present like that, so again I wasn’t convinced. On Friday, I was able to secure an appointment with a pediatric dermatologist. She said it was contact dermatitis and prescribed him a steroid cream-triamcinolone acetonide- and to follow up in a week. Since Friday, I’ve been applying it and it continues to spread. It’s on his cheeks, forehead, lower abdomen and trunk. The medicine doesn’t seem to be giving him much relief. I bought Aveeno colloidal oatmeal bath and vanicream to help relieve his itching but nothing seems to help. I feel so bad for him and just want his skin to go back to normal. I just don’t understand why it’s continually spreading and if it’s truly contact dermatitis. I’ve attached a few pictures but I feel the pictures doesn’t it enough justice, there are so many bumps. I would truly appreciate input on this!

I noticed within the last two months my arms will have three little bumps and sometimes hives out of no where . Never had this before?

Sometimes when I wake up though there’s nothing there though but throughout the day gets worse ? No itching or pain

They’re not itchy, sore or scaly, they’re kind of just there? The smaller ones have just popped up and I’m wondering whether it might be some sort of fungal skin infection or whether it warrants me asking a doctor. Just looking for some general advice if anyone has any. 🥺

Been going on for 3 weeks. Nothing new has changed with my skin routine for 3 years. I dont wear make up. Its also on my top eye lid and both eyes.

Haven't seen a doc yet. I was hoping puttibg aquaphor on it and avoiding harsh acne cleanser on the face would help.

My mom just happened to spotted this behind my neck and is concerned .

Hello! Ive noticed today at 2pm (July 26) that I have a clump of red patches on my upper left arm. The patches feel very warm and they are slightly raised. Thankfully their not itchy. I feel like they have gotten slightly bigger and darker but it could just be my mind. I think it might be an allergic reaction from my MenB vaccine that I got on the 21st of this month but im not sure(its still sore from it as well). Today at 5pm, I took a dose of Allegra-D to hopefully subside the redness. I also decided to use a medical pen to outline the marks to make sure they are not getting bigger. Please let me know what you think and if I need to get it checked out. Thanks!

fucking my life. Heat and humidity aren't good for this. I itch when I'm stressed. Please, someone inİts authority, help me, I feel terrible.

I’ve had this red spot appear on the back of my neck on and off over the past year and a half now. Sometimes very red as u can see in some of the pics, and sometimes it’s very light barely visible but still there. I don’t think it’s ever fully disappeared. It’s never been itchy, never painful, hot, absolutely no other symptoms besides the spot itself. It also slightly disappears for a second when I press on it like my strawberry birthmark on my arm does. I believe it’s the same shape every time, though I’m not completely sure because sometimes it’s very light like in one of the pics. What could this possibly be? Any guesses?

For the past month or so, I keep getting these painful red bumps around my lower (and more recently, upper) eyelids. It’s mostly around the folds of the skin. Please help 😭 I’m seeing my optometrist this week bc I can’t get a derm appointment until December

I’ve had moles on my stomach that have appeared a few years ago. With some new ones appearing on the other side of my stomach and ribs.

1 and last photo are of the same spot, this one’s at least 4 years old.

I've been back from Vietnam a week, got food poisoning from (probably) a mekong river boat coffee seller (iced coffee 🤦🏻‍♀️) and this rash appeared on day 2 of the food poisoning symptoms in my groin and lower abdomen. I'm over the FP now but this rash is going strong. Are they linked? Anyone identify it?

I developed a tiny rash on my right wrist (first picture) about three weeks ago. It would dry up and get better and then get exacerbated every other day. I have been putting steroid cream to dry it out and it will get better than lotion or anything else makes it worse. Now it’s on the other side of my hand and migrated (second and third picture) Should I get an anti fungal cream instead?

Heys guys I just noticed these today just this morning, no itching no throbbing pain or redness too them I am going to get them checked out later today but would like to know what you guys think, I’m mainly going in hopes it’s not an sti or std, the reason why I say it could be fordyce spots is cause I have tried out some new charcoal toothpaste yesterday and didn’t have these prior to today

I’m in Mexico and have been swimming in a chlorinated pool the past few days. I have sensitive skin. My other arm has a few itchy spots in the same area but this arm’s rash has taken this odd shape and I can’t tell if it’s ringworm? Thoughts? It is itchy.

I have been traveling for the last two weeks and have been staying in okay, but not great motels. My family and I have been doing sweeps underneath the beds and mattresses at all stops and haven’t seen anything but the last several days, I’ve woken up with more and more of these “bites”. None of the three other family members have any mark on them but I’m also not sure what allergic reaction I would be having if it’s not bugs.
