large whelps on skin
by Maxcy, Mar 24, 2009 07:24PM
Recently my 12 year old daughter has been breaking out in large whelps. These whelps just come and go with no warning at all. Today she started breaking out in perfect dots (raised) on her arms. She said they just popped up at school with no warning at all. Her arm looks poka dotted. Its the weirdest thing I have ever seen. She says they itch. They will go away as quick as they came. I took her to the doctor and showed him her skin and he didn't seem concerned at all which upset me. So I am trying to find out if anyone knows what this might could possibly be?

The rashes could be an irritation, insect bite, allergic reaction or infection. This should also be differentiated from urticaria (hives) or weals which are a kind of skin rash notable for dark red, raised, itchy bumps. Majority of chronic urticaria have an unknown cause while viral infection, friction, pressure, temperature extremes, exercise, and sunlight are also possible causes. If it persists, have this evaluated further by your dermatologist for proper management. Direct clinical examination is important in determining the diagnosis. Also, try to avoid scratching to prevent secondary infection.
