I've been having a strange rash for the past couple days, and I'm wondering if anyone could shed some light on this, as I haven't yet been able to make it out to a doctor.
It starts as an area of itchy redness. After about ten minutes, tiny pinprick bumps appear. These will then slowly enlarge and merge, getting more irritated, and sometimes growing to almost an inch across. Once they stop growing, they flatten out and fade away, and the irritation subsides. The whole process takes about an hour.
I've gotten this a few times really badly on my hands and feet, and to a lesser degree on my arms, legs, and ears.
Does anyone know what it is, or what could be causing it?

It sounds like an eczema rash. Examine your history in your family, mothers side. You'll have to blame mom on this one, sorry. You'll have kind of like dry skin patches after it subsides and they'll start up when you get another attack.
The answer below is O.K. first if you have to wait for the doctor, try a cool shower, cool the skin. If you can get some Mometasone Furoate Creme 0.1% or over the counter Hydrocortosone creme 0.01% sleep under a sheet, try and keep cool during an outbreak. If it persists have the doctor give you a standard test for allergies, it's uncomfortable but ? then he can give you something more specific to the problem. It's enlightening speaking with someone that can speak English in the proper manner.

Pampers paintings first-rate for my son. I have spotted that he will get extra diaper rash in recent times with using Luvs, however to this point so well with Pampers. Maybe you would additionally check out making use of a milder wipe too. I have no idea if it is similar however he is been getting extra diaper rash for the reason that I've been making use of yet another sort of wipes. I continually use Pampers Sensitive, however this time the shop was once out and I obtained the constant sort. So that would be the wrongdoer as good.

Sounds like ezcema to me or contact dermatitis. Try some Benadryl anti-
itch cream and see if that helps it costs less than $5 for a tube. These types
of rashes are prone to people with allergies.
