Sometimes the growth of new hair can have this effect. Also, using any personal products such as certain deoderants can cause an allergic reaction (even if you have been using the same brand for years!). Your best bet is to not stress since you will be seeing the doctor soon. Only someone well qualified who has seen the condition can tell you what it is!

okay, I am confused as to why you and your father couldn't go to the doctor at the same time? How old are you?  Are you sure you have these symptoms, or is it in your head? If you really believe that you have these symptoms, you need to be seen asap. They might just be fatty tumors. I have them on my leg, and the doctor told me that as long as they don't bother me, I don't bother them. You should have it checked out, and if need be go to the ER or an urgent care, do you have a free clinic you couold visit? Good luck,  and I hope everything turns out alright for ya!

I had similar bumps once when I was in a cast. They took the cast off and all these little itchy bumps were underneath. It had been driving me nuts. My doctor said it was an allergic reaction, probably to the dye in the coloured cast. I took some benadryl, used calamine lotion and the bumps went away within a week. Have you worn something new without washing it? It's probably an allergic reaction to something new that you've come into contact with. You can either see your doctor and ask for an allergy test or just treat the symptoms and hope they go away and never come back.

I'm not sure lol. See your Dr. or dermatologist.

Sounds to me like dry skin but I am not a doctor. I would get it checked out to be on the safe side but first just try to use a mild soap and see if that might be causing it to be flaky and if not then like I said go to the doc.

Thanks for making me laugh.....\n\nI wouldn't worry about it unless it happens all the time.  Did you eat something very spicy yesterday?  Or perhaps you need to get more fibre in your diet.\n\nIn any case, I think you'd make your doctor giggle with that description of your problem.

It sounds like a problem with your diet. I hope the dermatologist has some answers for you.

How big are the rashes (dime sized? palm sized?)? How long have you had them? Are they symetrical? Have you been exposed to anything recently that may have caused them, such as poison ivy or poison oak? Have you bitten by anything recently? Need a LOT more information before anyone could begin to guess at what it may be.\n\nThere are hundreds of different types of rashes, and many have multiple causes, so without better info it is very difficult to think of what it might be. It can run the gamut from cancerous lesions to hives. Sorry can't be of more help.

I know.  I've had this before when I was younger.\n\nThis is an allergy to the sun.  You got too much sun exposure and you don't have enough vitamin A and E in your system.\n\nFirst, Start taking some multi-vitamins that contain vitamins E and A.  Do not take mega amounts, because they (especially Vitamin A) can be toxic to your liver if you overdo it.  They are not water soluble, so you cannot piss them out by drinking lots of water.)\n\nAlso please get out of the sun for a few days until the bumps go away. If you must go out in the sun cover your face with a strong sun block and wear a hat. Some make up has sun block built into it, but I doubt it will cover the bumps because they are raised and like little blisters.\n\nIf you do not really have sun bumps, other possibilities are poison ivy, German measles (don't get near any pregnant women) or an allergic rash to something else.\n\nHope this helps.

This is what I think you have. I suggest going to a Dermatoligist to determine what this is.  It could be an allergy.  It could be an infection.  But I also have these red bumps.  All over right now because of the cold weather.  When I get cut, when I get hot, when I am cold, when I run, they itch, burn, and hurt.  I use hydrocortizone to cure the itching.  I hope you find the answer your looking for.\n\nKeratosis pilaris (KP) is a very common genetic follicular disease that is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin and hence colloqually referred to as "chicken skin". Primarily, it appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms, but can also occur on thighs and buttocks or any body part except glabrous skin (like the palms or soles of feet). Worldwide, KP affects an estimated 40 to 50% of the adult population and approximately 50 to 80% of all adolescents. It is more common in women than in men. Varying in degree, cases of KP can range from minimal to severe.\n\nThere are several different types of keratosis pilaris, including keratosis pilaris rubra (red, inflamed bumps), alba (rough, bumpy skin with no irritation), rubra faceii (reddish rash on the cheeks) and related disorders.\n\nMost people with keratosis pilaris do not know they carry it. While KP resembles goose bumps, it is characterized by the appearance of small rough bumps on the skin. As a result, it is often confused with acne.\n\nKeratosis pilaris tends to occur as excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin, accumulates around hair follicles (process known as hyperkeratinization). Unattractive more than anything else, it most often appears as a proliferation of tiny hard bumps that are seldom sore or itchy. Though people with keratosis pilaris experience this condition year round, it’s during the colder months when moisture levels in the air are lower that the problem can become exacerbated and the “goose bumps” are apt to look and feel more pronounced in color and texture.\n\nAlthough exfoliation, intensive moisturizing cremes, and medicated lotions containing alpha-hydroxy acids or urea may improve the appearance and texture of affected skin, results are not permanent. There is no known cure for this condition

I've had something that sounds like what you have a couple of times. It was on my outer labia and both times It ended up being an infected hair follicle. In my case, I could see an actual small hair sticking up near the middle of the bump with a little bit of white around it. First I wiped the area with a little bit of alcohol and a Q-tip to cleanse the area. Then I took a pair of tweezers and pulled the piece of hair out (pinching the skin up with my other hand). As soon as I pulled the piece of hair out, pus came out. I squeezed it gently (as it was painful) to get the pus out (until I saw a bit of blood, so I knew I had all the pus out). Then I took a Q-tip and a little alcohol and wiped the area to clean the spot and put a fresh pair of cotton undies on. I've heard of people getting ingrown hairs there as well, so it could be something a doctor might need to help you with if that's the case. If you think it might be a pimple, you might try putting warm wet compresses on the area. Don't squeeze though, as if you don't see any type of white head you could make it worse (it could be a boil).

Flea bites are itchy, not very big but never made lumps on me.  Try putting alcohol on them.  You got into some kind of bug. If they don't start fading in a couple of days see a doctor. Guess it could be fleas and you just react differently.

it's hard to say without a picture.  \n\nMy aunt just experienced the same sounding rash in the same location.  She had it for almost 3 weeks and then went to the doctor.  She was given some cream and an antiobiotic.  It has dissapeared in the past couple days.\n\nGood luck, and see your doctor.

I would definitely have it checked by a doctor.  I'm sorry to hear that you are hurting & what you have described is pretty painful.  I know how you are feeling b/c I get bumps (lesions) like this all the time and not just on my thighs.  \n\nHere's what I try on the lesions I get in that area:\n\n1.  Warm compresses to try to draw whatever is on the inside to the top.\n2.  Soaking in the bathtub helps, too ... But given where you are located that might be difficult for you.\n3.  If you can get some TEA TREE OIL, dab a little (not a lot ~ just a little bit) on the lesion itself with a cotton ball or Q-Tip.  This stuff smells really nasty, but should help to dry the lesion up pretty quickly.\n\nIs this the first time you have ever had one of these bumps come up?  If so, you could have a boil or a cyst.  I would definitely have it checked out by a medical professional ... But, if you get these things on a recurrent basis, you could have what I live with on a daily basis.\n\nI have a skin disease called Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS, for short).  One of the characteristics are boil-like lesions that appear in any of the following areas:\n\nThighs\nGroin area\nButtocks\nBreasts\nUnderarms\n\nThe boils/lesions that I get are recurrent, appear in all of the locations noted above (not all at the same time, but I've had them everywhere), and, when cultured, contain no bacterial growth rendering antibiotics useless.  There is no specific treatment for my disease ~ just treating the lesions as they appear.  \n\nI am putting a couple of links to a few sites to check out.  They might be able to give you more information about whether this is a boil or something else.\n\nHope you are feeling better soon!\n\nThanks for being over there & hurry home safely ...

If it doesn't seem to go away after a few days, I'd suggest you see a dermatologist or general doctor. It could be your skin was just irritated when you got the scrape, if something got on the area and you hadn't cleaned it (I have no idea of course but I'm assuming you were barefoot, if there was fertilizer/chemicals on someones grass and you walked through it, or something like that). Was the scrape really bad, like bleeding, or just sort of red and scratched up? I doubt it's infected, but if you're concerned if it doesn't go away in a day or two, or you have any other new symptoms, definitely just go to a doctor to make sure. You may need an antibiotic. I also think you should put Neosporin on it and see if that helps. Good luck!

HI. IT COULD JUST BE A IRRITATED GLAND OR LYMPHNOID ( WE HAVE TONS OF THEM IN OUR NECKS). I WOULD WAITE A FEW DAYS AND IF IT IS NOT GONE YOU SHOULD HAVE IT CHECKED. BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY. GOOD LUCK.

I had something similar on the back of my arm. Do you have dry skin? My doctor said it was due to dry skin. Dead skin builds up aroud a hair folicle and it creates a sort of rash. Try light exfoliation in the shower, followed by baby oil on wet skin.
