I have red itchy spots that are bumpy on my legs thats getting worse, is it exma? if so how do i treat it?

Answer:
Try e-45 cream but if it gets worse go to the doctors as it could be prickly heat rash

Do you have a cat or dog? It could be flea bites

---

dont sound like exma ,try e45 cream ,sounds like bites to me or a rash.xxkev xx

---

sounds like it
or poison ivy
but i'd say use hydrocortizone it worked for me. and pray
i had exzema really bad and i prayed and it went away.

Might also be an allergy to grass, or hives.Excema isn't spotty, its patches of itchy dry skin, sometimes it even looks scaly!

---

Try an antihistamine tablet (like Piriton) - if the itching decreases and the redness gets less then you have an allergic reaction to a bite or sting (as already described above!)

Could be from flea bites but sounds like a good case of chiggers which you can get from being in the weeds or grass. Poison ivy is also a possibility. Don't scratch, put on some cortisone cream from a drugstore or Wal=Mart. If it gets oozy and spreads its probably poison ivy or something like that. If its chiggers put on a clear fingernail polish and after several days they will die. Chiggers are alive under the skin and this smothers them and makes them die.

Do you shave your legs? If so, this may be ingrown hairs. If it is, the following may help:
1. Do not shave until the end of your shower/bath.
2. Use a shaving lotion or cream with moisturizer.
3. Do not use a dull razor.
4. Shave with short, gentle strokes, rising the razor frequently.
5. Use a good nonperfumed lotion after you shave.

Have you been out in the sun, if so it may be prickly heat, try calamine lotion.

Visual examination by your doctor is the quickest way of finding out what you have.

Ah ah ah ah... that's what I got a few months back! Does it ooze? Anyway, it might be eczema...so used the over-the-counter hydrocortisone. Trust me, if it eczema you should treat it right away. And the OTC hydrocortizone has enough concentration of te active ingredient to cure the eczema, but won't have any significant side effects, if what you have is not an eczema. So go buy it already!

Eczema can be either small blisters or dry pathy areas, it isnt usually spotty. If you have an animal it may well be flea bites. Insted of asking here go and see your doctor or practice nurse to get some professional advice.

Easy to recognise 4 me I had em b4 do not touch them they can spread there is no cure where ever they are on u always wear something over them to stop temptation they will get bigger then if you dont disturb them they will finally just stop and you may have a few scars that you can hardly see it is common dr's used to burn and freeze them but they found out that it is better to just leave them!

---

there could be many explanations for this! it could be something as heat rash or something as big as meningitis if your worried about press a clear glass over it and if it disappears your fine. go and see a dermatologist to get this sorted, but if you do have exma simple cream may be applied and you will be fine.
