What Do Red Rashes On The Body Indicate?

If I click a pic of the roundish redish spot with brownish dots in it could you tell me why it's not going away and then on others side I have a smaller redish bump that's a lil thicker feeling and taller than the other? Just need to know if I need to go to hospital or not

Hello,

You have symptoms of red rashes on the body which seems to be due to an insect bite and could be an allergic reaction and after pricking that gets exaggerated. Need not to worry. I would suggest you maintain complete cleanliness and protect it from sun exposure. You should give cold compresses to red rashes several times a day to prevent from swelling and itching and take over the counter antihistamine drug like Benadryl.

If symptoms still persist the consulting dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. The doctor may perform a skin test and may prescribe a steroid cream and anti-inflammatory medications.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regard,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
