Question: Have small rash on inside wrist, small bumps.
Brief Answer:
Please provide some more information
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I saw your photo and I understand your concern.
The bumps seem like bug bites but also they can be folicullitis which its an inflammation of the root of the hair. It may be also a contact dermatitis or herpes.
Can you please let me know this information?
-- How did it appear? Did you touch anything? Did you saw any bug?
-- Is it itchy? Painful? Burning?
-- Do you have others in your body?
-- When you see the answer please send another pictures in the few hours as a follow up so I can see how it is developing.
As much information that you think its relevant that you can give to me, the more helpful it will be.
Looking forward to your follow up question.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako

What kind of bug bite? It doesnt itch a little sore if i touch it.
Brief Answer:
If it doesn't itch makes it more possible to be folicullitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the follow-up question.
It can be all kinds of bug bites- mosquitos, spiders, ect. The fact that it is in an exposed area and there are close to each other makes me think of this.
The fact that it doesn't itch on the other side makes it more possible to be a folicullitis.
I will advice that you put on it an antibiotic cream. I would expect that they turn into vesicles with little pus on top, but the antibiotic will make you feel better.
If doesn't go like that though, do not hesitate to follow up with me with the changes.
