You are obviously having some sort of allergic reaction to an apple. Whether it be the skin, the actual flesh of the apple or perhaps even the pesticides (if used) that are on the skin of the apple.
You can find out for sure with allergy testing from your doctor. Yeah, you're allergic. Best to stay away from this 'food' and be aware of what you eat. If it happened once, don't try it again! Go to a doctor.
What would cause a 12 year old female to get a rash that itches all over her body?
It could be numerous reasons.
-Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac
-Measles
-Chicken Pox
There are just too many possible causes.
Symptoms-
-Fever?
-Chills?
-Aches?
But know this- a rash is an allergic reaction. It could be from topical chemicals (Poison Ivy, sanitizers, ect.), sickness (measles, chicken pox, ect.) or from inhaled or ingested toxins (pollen, some foods, ect.).
First thing I would try though is some Benedryl or allergy medicine. Follow the instructions on the box or bottle.
If that doesn't work, go talk to a doctor as soon as possible.
Don't think that measles and chicken pox are a young childhood disease. People can contract these diseases at any time. I, myself, had the measles three years in a row at the ages of 23, 24, 25.
Monitor it for a few days and make not of any changes you notice. Dont rub it a lot or you may irritate the skin and cause swelling or panic to much and make the wrong assumption that it is getting bigger even if its not. If it does not hurt, get larger, or become annoying it probaby is a knot that has been on your head - no head is knot/bump free - or you may want to make sure it is not a fatty build up or anything like that.
Can animal skin or fur give you a rash?
Depends on the animal, but yes, it could, if you were allergic to that animal, or if the animal's skin produced a certain chemical. We can severely hurt butterflies if we touch them with our fingers, as our oils are bad for their wings. So yes.
I would suggest taking your dog to a vet. I'm not one myself, but if the skin looks inflamed you should defenitly get a professional opinion.
if they are all over the body then they may be chicken pox but if they are large groups of them or just in one spot they could be hives i highly doubt that they are hives but its possible P.S you can trust me from experience of treating them and dont let her scratch them they only get worse i would either go to the dr. or rub hibocortizone creme on them and dont touch them they are contagious by touch I recommened using gloves to touch them.

Red circle on your wrist it looks like a cut but its not and it doesnt burn or itch what is it?
could be ring worm (which is not really a worm it is a fungus) it doesn't always itch.
Hope it helps all of us with this problem. GL I have the same problem, and I've research and havent found any cure
It could. You would be doing a number on the skin of your face and that is always asking for trouble. Pimples are caused by bacteria trapped in your pores. So, some soap and water is good; it kills bacteria. But, your skin is always home to tons as bacteria, even if you have just stepped out of the shower. If your soap is to harsh or you scrub too often you will damage and dry out your skin. This causes it to flake off (even if it is only microscopically) and those flake can cause more bloackage and hence, more pimples. Try using a liquid soap and warm water and when your face feels clean and you have removed any excess oil be sure to add a *light* layer of a light lotion. Just to keep the skin moist enough not to flake off. If you aren't able to get it under control that way you may need to get medicated cream or antibiotic from a dermatologist. Pimples are very common in teens, women who are pregnant/nursing and somewhat in women going through menopause. Any time your hormones are acting up it can cause some minor health issues like that. Don't let it ruin your day. Hope this helps!
YES DEFFIANETLY only wash when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed washing your face to the extreme can stimulate oil glands causeing clogged poress BUT DO NOT USE HOT WATER WHEN WASHING YOUR FACE it dries out skin REALLY bad use warm water and a cleanser!

If a person lost 50 percent of their functional skin surface, they would be likely to die. They would be susceptible to infection and the effects of harmful solar radiation.
burning feeling in the skin can be nerve damage. ----
This is a question you should discuss with your doctor, as the possible causes range from just irritating to quite serious.
Insect bites, other arthropod bites, contact with certain plants or chemicals - these can all cause localised skin irritation. Vitamin deficiencies can result in nerve irritation, but this is usually not localised to one area. Various viral infections can affect the nerves, and some fungal infections can affect the skin and possibly alter sensation.
The nerve supply to the skin of the chest comes from spinal nerves that exit the spinal column below each vertebra. They supply the skin in stripes or bands known as dermatomes. Each side is supplied separately.
This means that damage to a nerve or to the spine can result in sensations on the skin. This may occur with or without muscular involvement, depending on the type of damage.
Zoster sine herpeticum is a form of shingles where there is no visible rash. Shingles is caused by the same virus as chicken pox, which becomes dormant in the nerve ganglia and may reactivate later in life during times of stress, illness, or due to various causes of decreased immunity (including HIV infection.) Usually it affects one dermatome on one side of the body, and there is usually a rash made up of blisters. It is very painful. In the early stages, it can be felt as an itch, and the rash may only develop later. It could be a sign of more serious problems, and it can be infectious and give other people the virus.
If you have a greasy scalp is that good?
having greasy hair isn't ever really good, it means that it isn't clean, or that you maybe failed to rinse out conditioner from your hair after a shower. however, if your hair is greasy right after you take a shower and you really washed out your conditioner, it could be due to puberty, just like your face gets oily during puberty, so can your scalp.
Why do girls suddenly have acne breakouts?
Usually, when a girl comes to the age of 10, they start to grow pimples. If your lucky, you won't get any pimples from ages 10-11. At 12, the pimples start to grow in. The most common places for pimples to grow is your checks, nose, and forehead. Sometimes they only grow in one place, two places, or all over, and trust me, all over is not good, I'm not saying you're sick or anything, it's just that you won't look so good. When they do grow in, use lots of pimple cream or you can pop them by using your left index finger and your right. Use your nails. Be careful not to cut yourself while you're popping them, especially if you have long nails. If your nails are long and sharp, you might wanna stick to the pimple cream. I'm not a skin doctor, but these things work for me.
Hope I helped!
when i was a little boy my grand dad could talk off warts. I asked him what did he say, and he said that he could not tell me. but i can do the same thing now and it works. dont ask me how or why it just does. I go the the preschool once a year where my wife works and talk them of for the kids there. The owner had me to talk one off of she that the Dr. had tried to get rid of, now she belives also.
Can you get a rash from condoms or lube?
Yup latex alergy is most common - you can try latex free alternatives
Mostly in the face, sometimes the chest and the back. it does not occur in the leg, though. Unless it is chicken pox.
As silly as this sounds it may simply be muscle strain or a pulled muscle. See your pharmacist for advise and to have your arm checked over to rule out anything more serious.
