I have red bumps that are all over my stomach and few on my back, neck, and thighs. The non itchy bumps starts off red, turns a dark, and then scaly. They are all different sizes. I am getting very worried because they are multiplying slowly. Its really bothering me because they are leaving scars. Please give me some advice.
Thank you both again, kindd and jagesh50. You're awesome.
Hello,
From the symptoms and picture it looks like eczema.Eczema is a form of chronic dermatitis (rash).Allergic reaction is one of the important causes of eczema. Allergic reaction can occur to strong soaps, Solvents, chemicals, certain foods, food additives, plants, metals, cosmetics, even urine and faeces of some animals (dust mites).
Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).
Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.
If still the symptoms do not improve then pls get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
A neurodermatitis.Application of hydrocortisone would help in resolution.
