Confused.. allergies or something worse?


I have many tiny pinhead sized red bumps on my whole body. I 1st starting seeing them below my knee when i tried to shave my legs. They feel hard to the touch, raised and if I scratched them a hard white substance came out. Then they would heal but leave a red dot on my leg where they were. Now I am seeing that they are above my knees, still reddish and a lil pink. They are not painful at all.When I broke out with the ones on my thighs, I also had some on my chest, my stomach and back. My dr assured me that i didnt have herp, and that he thinks i am suffering from allergies being light skinned. I didnt have any of the symptoms of hsv. The bumps usually disappear in a day, day and a half. The bumps on my thighs when i scratch them, all that comes off/out of them is just dead skin. Am I just over reacting or freaking out over my body's allergies to certain things i wear/come in contact with? (plz dont respond if you are going to say I dont know go to the doctor.) Thank you

same laundry detergent my mother has used since i was little. They dont itch or anything. The bumps are just "there".
So this doesnt sound nothing like a std ?

it sounds like you have developed a sensitivity to something
have you changed anything lately?
any soaps, deodorants, lotions, detergents that you use on your laundry etc?
you could try using baby products for a few days to see if it makes a difference, or simple, un-perfumed products

Perhaps you have contact dermatitis.

Have you been using a different laundry detergent or fabric softener lately?

eew sounds like scabies, does it itch really bad? if so it's most likely scabies.

It sounds like you might be allergic to your detergent or fabric softener. Have you changed either recently? You might try something like Tide Free (no dyes or perfumes) and see if that helps. Good Luck!

I had a problem like that with laundry detergent. Try changing the detergent you wash your clothes in.

My little sister got a rash like that one time.
Hers was a heat rash from the summer, and it lasted a few days.

I got a rash like that the first time I was in Europe. We were in a large city with millions of people, then we stayed on a farm.
My rash lasted a week! (dammit, I was trying to flirt with those hot European boys!!)

So, DON'T scratch it. If your skin is damaged it will leave scars most likely. I have a couple scars over my body from getting hives a few times. (They usually fade a lot, but you can still see them)
Good luck.

If it *does* last more than 2-3 weeks, you should consider seeing a doctor anyhow (I know you don't want to hear that ... but you just may need to go)

Should resolve on it's own. Drink a good amount of water and just eat healthy.
