It could be a lot of things, with the worst being a skin cancer. He needs to go to his doctor or a dermatologist to be checked. Some of the skin cancers can actually spread and become fatal. Tell him you love him and want him to be around for a long time, then hand him the appointment card....

Rashes are not a symptom of genital herpes.\n\nHerpes zoster (shingles) do look like rashes and they can appear anywhere on the body, usually the legs, arms, and the side of the body. This is not sexually transmitted, so if he is worried about getting in trouble from his parents he shouldn't be. Shingles is usually transmitted by someone who has chicken pox. So if he was exposed to someone who has chickenpox he could have got it from them.\n\nGenital herpes are blister like sores. They can open and puss a clearish fluid. There can be a few or 10 or more sores in the genital area. They are also VERY painful. Is he in a lot of pain? I was in so much pain that my doctor prescribed me the pain killer Vicodin. \n\nI hope this answered your question.

An allergic reaction probably would've happened right away; but if you have taken Benadryl safely in the past, you could always try it and see if the symtoms go away.  It just doesn't sound like an allergic reaction, since you didn't mention itching and rash.  \n\nThis is more likely the beginning of an infection (doctors call it cellulitis) and you need to take antibiotics to get rid of it.  You can usually tell an infection by swelling and redness - but you shouldn't diagnose yourself.  You definitely need to see a doctor because, if it is an infection, it can keep growing in the tissue of your foot and you DON'T want to deal with that.  \n\nI don't necessarily think you need to go wait 4 hours in an emergency room (especially since you are working and all that) - unless you are having symptoms of an allergic reaction that is spreading over your whole body (like rash, shortness of breath, etc. - then it's Emergency Room time).  If you have health coverage, your doctor should see you right away once you tell him/her your symptoms (like the same day).  A lot of times, the people answering the phone at the doctor's office won't know how serious this can be.  If they won't give you an appointment the same day or, at the latest, the next day, ask for a call back from your doctor.  Definitely get it taken care of - sooner than later.  Take care :)

Could be hives as a result.  She needs to get it checked out as as soon as possible. An allergy test would confirm this.

There are hundreds of different kinds of rashes, and even more causes. We need a lot more information to give any intelligent answers. Does the rash itch? Is it red? Does it change shapes, one part resolving why new ones develop? If so, then you likely have hives, which are usually due to allergy. Hives are caused by the release of histamine by your immune system (mast cells and basophils), and histamine not only causes hives, but can cause gastrointestinal problems (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal cramping, etc) and headache ("cluster" headache). \n\nYou can look at pictures of all kinds of dermatological problems at this website:  http://dermis.multimedica.de/dermisroot/en/list/all/search.htm Maybe you'll find something which looks like your rash.

Scabies can be easily diagnosed on examination. Rashes could coz of allergies. She should get herself reexamined by a good physician. if she is losing weight also it could be because of intestinal worms or may be an auto immune disorder

He just needs to wash his face.  If you shave down there it could be the irritation from rubbing his face against you or any soaps, perfumes, powders you might have used that day or right before that he could be slightly sensitive to.  I highly doubt it is an STD.  If it blisters and shows a more red appearance then you might want to see the doctor, but for now use an good facial cleanser...just treat it similiar to acne and it should go away.  Good luck!

Depends on the cause of the itch. Do you have a rash, or just itching?

Have you been sweatting a lot?  Could be heat rash.\nIf so wipe it with rubbing alcahol and sleep by the fan.

Seriously, I believe I would take him to the doctor.  When I worked at dermatologist there was a lady that came in with big clear fluid filled blisters and they were some kind of bacterial infection and she had to take oral antibiotics.  If nothing else a doctor could probably give you a note to let him in school with socks only until it heels.  I really hope that he feels better.  Good Luck.

The first sign is often a tingling feeling on the skin, itchiness or a stabbing pain. After several days, a rash appears beginning as a band or patch of raised dots on the side of the trunk or face. It then develops into small, fluid-filled blisters which begin to dry out and crust over within a few days. When the rash is at its peak, symptoms can range from mild itching to extreme and intense pain. The rash and pain usually disappear within three to five weeks.

Hmmm...\n\nI still think they are hives.  A minor case may only stay around for a day or two.  Hard to tell, but if they really start bothering you, go to a free clinic, to be safe.\nYour health is more important than money.\n\n Another possibility is ringworm ( a fungus), but I think it stays for a while without medicine.\n\nHere is another idea.  Go to your nearest pharmacy the next time you break out.  Then ask the pharmacist what he thinks you can put on it.  He/she might recognize the rash and be able to help you...\n\nGood luck!  Let me know ok?

If he is not allergic he can take Benadryl to help with the reaction.   Alveeno anti-itch cream seems to work better than calamine lotion.  Alveeno also has a spray gel that works great.  And their bath tratment says right on the box it is supposed to help with poison sumac.\n\nThe Benadryl and Alveeno together should get him through until you can reach the doctor.   I am very sensitive to poison ivy and reach for the benadryl right away.  Might make him sleepy though.\n\nGood luck!
