What would cause an all over her body red unraised rash on my four year old that doesn't itch but causes her legs to be very warm?

It may be a condition called Cholinergic urticaria (google it and see if it fits the description). I have had it since I was very young, and only put a name on it just recently. If it occurs when she has been out in the sun (gotten too hot) or is very excited this might be it. The rash may or may not itch, and it it harmless, although uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing.

What is a rash all over your stomach and lower breasts that has been there for 5 days that does not itch but looks terrible?

This actually sounds like a mild case of yeast infection. Yes, I know you think that sounds funny considering the fact that yeast infections normally happen around the genital area. But that is not the only area that yeast can be released. Yeast infections are mostly caused by anything that your body isn't used to I.E. increased heat or moisture...this in terms causes bacteria in the skin. There are many ways you can try to eliminate the problem else it will keep coming back. First of all I would recommend using a creme specially made for yeast infections. Might I suggest Metronidazole. You have to see a doctor for a script but it works. After it has cleared up, you might try changing the type of clothing you wear. Some clothes that are too tight tend to lock in moisture when you get hot and your body starts to sweat. Try wearing loose fitting clothing and I can almost guarantee it will never come back. Also, you could try using any type of moisture blocker such as baby powder or talc which in terms eliminates moisture and keeps you dry.

Fungal infection?My husband had a rash something like this, on his chest, back, and neck. He was almost not aware of it because it didn't itch and it was flat and not brightly colored. It turned out to be a kind of fungal infection. The doctor told him what kind of cream to get and he applied it once or twice a day, and the rash went away. So you need to see a doctor--you might not even need a dermatologist, though.

Im 13 and have this white discharge in your underwearit smells really bad but it doesnt itch or burn or anything just smells and feels wet what is it?

it is normal. i is to clean out your vag

A normal discharge shouldn't smell really bad. If it continues, see a doctor or health clinic as soon as possible: you might have an infection (infections are not necessarily transmitted through sexual activity) which with treatment will clear up quickly, but if left untreated can get worse and cause other problems.

What could be wrong if you were told you were developing a dowagers hump but tested negative for osteoporosis but now your back just below your neck is so sore and painful that you can't lie on it?

Hmmm... That's a very complicated question!! If you're seeing a Rheumatologist, I'm sure he/she has checked you for cushing's disease or referred you to an Endocrinologist If you've NOT seen an Endocrinologist, then I strongly suggest you get a referral to see one. Since you report the osteoporosis test was negative, then I personally would refer you to one if you had some of the following: Cushing's disease (ie an ACTH-secreting adenoma) Presenting symptoms * psychiatric disturbance (often characterised by amplification of previous personality traits) * moon face - particularly filling in of the temporal fossa [temple areas] * weight gain - central obesity [primarily body area] * muscle wasting and proximal myopathy (patients have difficulty standing from a seated position without use of arms) [weakness] * thin skin * - tendency to bruise * hirsutism (caused by androgen excess) [male hormones] See [The Pituitary Foundation.org.uk] at http://www.pituitary.org.uk/gp-factfile/4-cushings.htm

What could cause a vaginal discharge. I have been to the DR and He stated there was nothing wrong. I always have a smelly clear discharge. My underwear are always nasty.?

Why does your skin cancer itch and hurt?

I don't know why they itch exactly, part of the healing process most likely.

I do have a few tips to relieve the itch however:

A couple days ago I got a moderate sunburn, it wasn't particularly bad, no peeling or blistering. However, after a few days it all of a sudden began to itch EXTREMELY bad. I had eczema as a child so I have a fairly high itch tolerance, but this itch made me feel insane and I would have pulled my hair out it I wasn't too busy slathering my burn with lotion and pure aloe. Neither seemed to help as soon as I released. Here is what did work:

Aveeno Anti-Itch concentrated cream that is for use on chicken pox, poison oak and poison ivy -- I'm sure other poison ivy/oak anti-itch creams would work similarly well. I took a breif cool shower to wash off the lotion and aloe and then slathered a thick layer of the itch cream on top. It worked like magic. Within 5 minutes I went from feeling like I needed to go to the emergency room to feeling okay enough to try to sleep.

Key point

AVEENO POISON OAK AND POISON IVY ANTI-ITCH CREAM WORKS TO RELIEVE SEVERE SUNBURN ITCH!!

Hope this helps :)

What kind of rash is it when you see small bumps and you itch so bad that you could claw your skin off?

Or it could be hives or heat rash ..I would see a Doctor ...do not scratch it

If the rash is localised to a specific area, it could be irritant contact eczema - which means avoid the irritant ie. washing detergents or cleaning agents. You will normally get redness + the small bumps.

If the rash is everywhere on the body could be allergic contact eczema -> avoid the allergy ie. new medication/food allergy/ bad reaction to pollen?

But really it is too hard to diagnose with the information you have given us... in general see your doctor if it gets worse, *avoid scratching it* as this will make it worse, and use a moisturiser to keep the skin moist.
