Ok, um I have these skin colored raised bumps on my elbows, they are small and some of them are clumped together, it's not Lichen nitidus or  dyshidrotic eczema. It's a one time thing I never had this before, (just got it today)and sometimes it itches. And it started to spread a little bit down my leftarm ( like 6 bumps). Does any one know what type of rash this is or if it even is a rash?ps. I havnt Been outside today I hav just been inside on my iPod :D

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be contact dermatitis, lichen nitidus, frictional lichenoid dermatitis or scabies. Scabies is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Thanx but I hav a few bumps on my leg and feet that are just appearing there now, I'll look in to the chicken skin. :)

i think we have the same skin condition but instead of it being on my elbows they are on my arm/shoulder. it might be keratosis pilaris or also called "chicken skin" but you might wana see your doctor first before anything.
