Please help! A few days ago I started devolping something that looked like a cross between the hives and measels. I am sure neither of which are true. I asked a pharmacist he thought it could be something like prickly heat. This bumps are generally small and vary in redness over the course of the day. The bigger one's are scaly with dry skin type stuff over them. They developed very fast and I have no idea what they are. I think I am going to go to the emegency room tomorrow. They are very numerous there is a couple on my neck but mostly under my breasts to about where the top of my pants go. There are a bunch of them. Then on my theighs. They don't really itch but they are scaring me to death. I have liek four of them that wrap aroudn to my back.

Someone help!

Without some medical name, it's going to be difficult for us to help you. It sounds like just about anything right now.

i have had the same thing for over a year now. the doctor first said it was shingles but it was on my legs thighs waist area. these things itch like crazy and even non itch meds don't help. a hot shower does. the doctor did clear them up once by using a steroid. they went away but soon came back. now they have spread to my hands and i itch them raw. doc says come on back.

Hmmm, kind of reminds me of something I had years ago. I forget what the doctor I saw called it.... something "??? rosae", supposed to be caused by a virus.
Of course I can't say if yours is similar, but it reminds me of it. My spots were rather big and got bigger, but didn't itch or hurt or anything. After a while they went again by themselves.

Yeah see a doctor, better to know what's going on!

Could it also be you're allergic to something? Started any new meds or anything?
