Sounds like ringworm to me, which is actually a fungal infection. Try some anti-fungal ointment, and if that doesn't work go to a Doc and get some prescription strength.

I guy I work with just had it.\n\nIts like an outbreak of the repressed chicken pox virus from when you were a kid.  Its brought on by great stress and apparently it itches like chicken pox.  They treated it with really high dosages of hormones.\n\nTry this http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/shingles/shingles.htm

There are hundreds of different kinds of rashes, and even more causes. We need a lot more information to give any intelligent answers. Does the rash itch? Is it red? Does it change shapes, one part resolving why new ones develop? If so, then you likely have hives, which are usually due to allergy. Hives are caused by the release of histamine by your immune system (mast cells and basophils), and histamine not only causes hives, but can cause gastrointestinal problems (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal cramping, etc) and headache ("cluster" headache). \n\nYou can look at pictures of all kinds of dermatological problems at this website:  http://dermis.multimedica.de/dermisroot/en/list/all/search.htm Maybe you'll find something which looks like your rash.

It could be an allergic reaction to something. Have you changed laundry detergent or anything like that? It could also be from some kind of insect bite or bites. It it gets worse then you can go to your urgent care and they can give you an shot to get rid of the itching. If you experience shortness of breath or feel like your throat is consticted go to the ER asap.

I would say: see a doctor. however. I have had this before. and the doctor said its a bacteria caused by wearing new or long-time stored clothes because you have sensitive skin it's not dangerous and it  will go away eventually however he gave me some kind of cream to put on the spots it will get rid of them faster. and he also told me to wash every thing I buy from the stores b4 wearing it. \nif you have insurance. see the doctor

Get some lavender oil from your herbal/health food store.  It will stop the itching and it will heal it also.  It is not expensive plus it smells good.  If it looks infected, has red streaks coming from it soak it echinacea tea.  It is a blood purifier and will prevent blood poisoning. You didn't say what part of the body she got bit.  If she has lumps in the armpits or groin that could be an indication of blood poisoning.  If so, get her to a doctor quick.

Hi! I am really worried. I have the same thing. I have had it for a week now. It came out of nowhere and started with a throat infection. Then I got a red really itchy rash on my neck. I got some medication from my doctor and some cream to put on it. They do not seem to know exactly what it is though and now it is getting better where I put the cream but instead it's spreading beond where I add the cream, and has moved towards the back of my neck and down on my chest and to my ears. My brothers girlfriend got the same around the same time as me but hers disappeared after a couple of days. I also saw a lady in my elevator with a similar rash. Like I said it's got me really worried.. Has anyone else experienced this? Have you found out what it is yet?

Hi, I'll bet the ER is right.  This sounds exactly like something that happened to my uncle.  They thought maybe the laundry detergent was culprit, only he hadn't changed detergents.  Come to find out he had a new pair of sheets and pillowcase.  So...have you tried new sheets lately? It could be that they are not 100% cotton and that could do it.  In his case the "sizing" they add to new sheets--even the cotton ones--was causing his rash and discomfort.  In this case, wash new sheets and pillowcases a few times before using them and that should help, and stick to the 100% cotton kind.  Also, if you suspect the laundry detergent, go back to another one that didn't bother you or even try Cheer.  It's the only one our family with allergies can use.  Good luck to you.  Oh, and the sluggish feeling you're having--that could be caused by the antihistamines the ER gave you.  Also allergies can make you feel that way too.  I hope this helps! :)

An allergic reaction probably would've happened right away; but if you have taken Benadryl safely in the past, you could always try it and see if the symtoms go away.  It just doesn't sound like an allergic reaction, since you didn't mention itching and rash.  \n\nThis is more likely the beginning of an infection (doctors call it cellulitis) and you need to take antibiotics to get rid of it.  You can usually tell an infection by swelling and redness - but you shouldn't diagnose yourself.  You definitely need to see a doctor because, if it is an infection, it can keep growing in the tissue of your foot and you DON'T want to deal with that.  \n\nI don't necessarily think you need to go wait 4 hours in an emergency room (especially since you are working and all that) - unless you are having symptoms of an allergic reaction that is spreading over your whole body (like rash, shortness of breath, etc. - then it's Emergency Room time).  If you have health coverage, your doctor should see you right away once you tell him/her your symptoms (like the same day).  A lot of times, the people answering the phone at the doctor's office won't know how serious this can be.  If they won't give you an appointment the same day or, at the latest, the next day, ask for a call back from your doctor.  Definitely get it taken care of - sooner than later.  Take care :)

YES IT IS! I WAS VERY SICK RIGHT BEFORE X-MAS. I HAD THIS BAD RASH THAT I COULD NOT GET RID OF. I HAD A BLOOD TEST DONE AND MY TRIGLYCERIDES LEVEL WAS OVER 8000. ( SHOCKING I KNOW !!!)  THAT RASH WAS FROM THE TRIGLYCERIDES TRYING TO COME OUT OF MY SKIN. THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR THEM TO GO ANYMORE!  IT WAS SUCH A RARE THING FOR THE DR'S TO SEE THEY TOOK PICS OF IT AND WILL BE PUT INTO A MED BOOK. I WAS GOING INTO PANCREATIC FAILURE! IT'S SOMETHING SOOO VERY SERIOUS . IF YOUR LEVELS ARE THAT HIGH PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO WHATEVER YOUR DR TELLS YOU TO DO . I MYSELF WENT ON INSULIN . I WAS SO VERY CLOSE TO HAVING A STROKE . IF YOU WANT TO TALK MORE ABOUT THIS OR JUST NEED SOME SUPPORT .. ADD ME TO YOUR MESSENGER :) TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF !

I want you to get yourself - F.A.S.T. to a  Skin Specialist! Steroids are so,so, dangerous to take continually and it appears they are not working. I do not wish to alarm you, but I believe you have a  "strep" virus. This virus, if it invades your blood stream can/and has killed. My mother had the same symptoms as you have. Is it itchy? I bet it is. They treated my mother with steroids and prednisone - but this "virus" entered her blood stream and after 4-days in a coma, God took my mother HOME. Get a handle on this "rash" NOW. It could be the "flesh eating disease", which has been in our countries/hospitals for over 20-years. A test is simple - it is called a "culture and sensitivity" - swabs will be taken of the infection and cultured and allowed to grow for a minimum of 48-hr, then the Bacteriologist will test different antibiotics for the most effective. Get this TEST right away! and don't put this off. A prolonged use of steroids will effect your health in many Negative ways. Good Luck and take my advice.

Mine peel sometimes and i was at the dermatologist for a rash which turned out to be ezxima (however thats spelled) and the cream that they perscribed for the rash on my legs I use sparingly on my nipples and it cleared right up. if they get dry i use a little again.\n\nIt most likely a reaction that will pass but try a sterioid cream, like cortizone or get something more intense prescribed by your doctor.\n\nand don't worry about it if its just the skin, the only time to worry is obviously if you feel a lump or if there is discharge.\n\ngood luck

could be heat, dehydration,  Hard to tell with out seeing them.  If the rashes are itchy could be bug bites or poision Ivy.  When in doubt take em in.
