Rash on legs, arms and stomach?!
Question:
Rash on legs, arms and stomach?
I have a rash that started on my ankles, but has spread up my whole leg to my knees on both legs. Its very itchy at times, but not all the time. These look like zits all over my legs. It has been two weeks and hasnt gone away. It is also on my legs and my stomach, but only a couple of zit like bumps. Any ideas.
Answers:
It might be a staph infection, which isn't as scary as it sounds. People have staph in them all of the time, but sometimes it's somehow kicked into higher gear and breaks out. My son gets it every year at day camp, as do some of the other kids and the dermatologist treats it, but tells me it's no big deal. It's not like the camp is unhygenic or the pool is contaminated; it's just something benign that just gets to those few kids.
See a dermatologist if the over-the-counter things don't work and good health to you.
