Red bumpy itchy rash from Mexico

by wilfred, Apr 27, 2008 01:04AM
I just came back from Mexico and I have this itch, redish and bumpy rash on my arms, fingers, legs, I would say all over my body. It was hot while I was there. I am not sure if it has to do with the detergents that the hotels uses for laundry. I have had it for a week now. Help.

Hi,

A generalized rash may be due to an allergic reaction, a sweat rash or miliaria, a contact or allergic dermatitis. I suggest you have this assessed by a dermatologist. This may need topical and oral medications .The underlying triggers also need to be noted.

What aggravates the rash? Is the rash red and  itchy ?

What relieves it?

Are you currently taking any medications for the rash?

I also came back from mexico a month ago and about once a week now I am getting these bumpy raised mosquito looking spots on my lower back, butt, and recently upper left arm and they are itchy. They come at night and are gone by the morning. Any idea???

I just got back from Playa del Carmen and I started to get an itchy rash in the airport on the way home.  Now it is red and bumpy and itchy on my left forearm.  I did go scuba diving.  Could there be a connection?
