Bites?

I have bumps, similar to bites, on both legs, inside just above the foot.  They do not itch but are painful to touch.  When on my feet for a long time they get swollen.  I have had these for at least 6 months.  I have had a course of antibiotics and also steroid cream, but they are not going away.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The various possibilities of rash/bites like lesions are varicose dermatitis (occurs over a varicose vein), discoid eczema (this may be both the dry or wet type), asteatotic eczema or a variant of discoid eczema over dry skin, gravitational eczema, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis (if you work outdoors or somewhere where some chemical or plant or any thing else comes in contact with your legs), or even psoriasis and tinea corporis (a fungal infection). Do consult a skin specialist. Take care!

Thanks for your message.  Have looked up scabies but these bumps do not itch and there is no break in the skin.  I agree with mooksmom that it is time to see a dermatologist.

sounds like it could be scabies. you have to apply a prescription cream to kill them. they are little mites that you can pick up from just walking out side or being around animals.
