I've had them for a few days now and it isn't possible for us to get a doctors appt. for a few more days but they are really unattractive not to mention itchy. I haven't worn any new clothes, eaten any unusual or new foods and we haven't switched our detergent in years. They are not flea bites and they are ONLY on my torso. There are about 20 in all ranging from below my breasts to my hips.
What is wrong with me? And how do i make it go away because it's sooo ugly in a bathing suit.

I've seen heat rash and these bumps are bigger and farther apart.

You probably have a heat rash which is caused by being in more water than usual in the heat or by sweating more, also if u started doing speed I heard that can cause it to.

Agree it could be roseola, could be chicken pox, but since he had a fever 2 days ago and cold symptoms and is on antibiotics it is most likely a viral rash that is the tail end of a virus. Either way, all three of these things are not an emergency, he doesn't need to go to the ER And it could be mosquito bites. I have a 3 yr old that is very allergic and each one swells up and is the size of a silver dollar. Try getting a benadryl stick and apply it topically. It should work if its allergic, and even if its not, should take away the itch. Oatmeal baths also will take away the itch.

Best thing to do is go to the doctor. It could be a number of things, like a heat rash, an allergic reaction to something that you were not allergic before or shingles. Shingles is the dormant version of the chicken pox that in your body and is brought out by stress. It goes away in a week's time and you may or may not have pain at the area. If you have it, use cocoa butter to prevent marks.

Red bug bites? Red bugs can get in your skin and bite. I used to get them all the time when I was little and played outside a lot. I've heard putting clear fingernail polish on the spots will smother them (if that is what it is). However, another possibility is just to wash your bedsheets. Any little bug that bites could have been brought in on your clothes and the little fellow could have made his way under your covers somehow. During the night while you slept, you unknowingly were bitten several times perhaps. Use Gold Bond anti-itch medication.

You have to see if it is going out from the sun.Lay on the sun for a while and try it 3 days.It is very possible is an allergic reaction or from a medical treatment or from some food.
If it is not going away in 3 or 4 days go to a doctor or if it is starting to spread also go immideately to a doctor.You could catch some skin deseas and can spread then it will be more difficult to cure it.

Could be shingles? Do they form a blister? There is something I heard about only recently, Fifths disease. It starts with a rash on the face like you have been slapped and then spreads to other parts of your body. It commonly affects school age children, or those around them.

Could be mosquito bites? How about poison ivy? Try calamine lotion to relieve the itching. Oatmeal bathes help, too. Use Benedryl cream: it will help with the itching and dry them out.

it might be giant hives and it is an allergy. Please see the doc because allergies can be healed . sometimes new allergies can happen with new foods and medication. I became allergic to pennicllin at 37 and just from a wisdom tooth extraction.

Definitely just ask the doctor about this one, I'm sure it's something fairly straightforward.
Calamine lotion and/or hydrocortisone cream can help with the itching.
