If you are truly worried about your condition then you must seek local medical attention.

If you're using an electric razor they could be ingrown hairs. Maybe you are having an allergic reaction to a type of skin care product you are using on them? A dermatologist would know best

You should see your doctor or dermatologist, but it could be hives. There are several different types of hives, and one is pressure related, (where clothes are, etc.) Shingles. definitely see your doctor. I use powder each morning after my shower on my bra area and stomach, I ran out of my favorite powder and used a different one I had on hand. Terrible rash erupted! Looking at the ingredients of my favorite powder (100% talc free), compared to the new powder, ingredients listed talc as one of the main ingredients. I have veiwed sites about talc and they seem to think Talc is best. Could I have had a reaction to Talc???

I have a cyst on my intergluteal cleft (butt crack) and since it was not badly infected, my doctor gave me bactroban to put on it every 8 hours (3 times a day) for 10 days.

Hard to say without more info. such as age, medical history, current meds, etc. Also would be easier if I could look at it, touch it etc. If you are on birth control pills or have any circulatory problems, it could be a superficial blood clot, which needs to be seen by a doctor immediately. Many other possibilities, so get it checked out.

Yes! I find that after abusing alcohol in the past, now everytime I try to drink any hard alcohol I will wake up with a blotchy red rash up and down my face, neck, and sometimes my hands. I really believe a its alcohol related rash. now i just stick to wine.. what I want to know is whats going on in my body that is not allowing it to break down the alcohol like it's suppose to.

There is a related condition called Asian flush. Even if you are not Asian, it can still happen. They call it Asian Flush because many Asians cannot metabolize alcohol properly. See the Related Links for more

It generally starts as a few small spots then grows to look like bruises. Take a clear glass and press it against the rash. If the rash doesn't fade, it is a sign that it is a meningitis rash.

If the rash is increasing in area it covers (mark the edges with a pen and then check periodically), see your doctor immediately. If it is itchy, take a Benadryl as directed on the package.

I was born with chronic eczema and was prescribed with Elocon at a very young age. I am now 20 year-old and can honestly say that my skin IS thin. Sometimes I even get this ripping pain on my face and chest. When I wear sunglasses the area around my nose that holds up the glasses will become bruised for a few days where as a normal person will only have it for less than an hour.

However I have been trying to avoid using Elocon as much as I can for about a year now and can say that my skin is becoming to thicken, and the ripping pain have dissapeared.

Red blotches on the skin that are not bumpy or itchy could be any number of things. It could be an allergic reaction to something such as a new detergent or soap. It could also be irritation from clothing. You should see your doctor if it does not clear up.

To prevent prickly heat ,try not to shower or bathe in hot water directly after exercise;ie game of squash.Let your body cool down somewhat first.It is caused by the skin trapping perspiration under the skin.To treat prickly heat buy a topical lotion(inexpensive)from drugstore or chemist.Do not scratch,as this will only make it itch more.

Yes. It will follow a nerve.

Some people use to have it for a year or more. Please see your doctor and have him/her explain it all to you and they will give you medications for it. Good luck Marcy

One treatment is medicated eyedrops (steroid or other) in the affected eye. Specific antiviral medications must be given if early enough. Sometimes pills are given. Definitely go to see an eye doctor!

If a baby oil has a fragrance it can cause irritation, because my child was allergic to all fragrances when she was a child. So if anything had a scent she would break out in a rash, eventually she outgrew it
