Suggest Treatment For Red Raised Bumps And Rash On Torso
Question: I have a rash on my legs and torso. It seems to be spreading internally thru bites. Red raised bumps occur, witha center that looks like it may contain a pimple, but when it "ripens" it had what seems to be a tiny round crust, but isn't. It falls off. I have found a few and popped them, tney are full of blood. I presume they are an insect of some kind, as I often go out behind my house and into a somewhat wooded area. This rash itches. What can I do?
Brief Answer:
Take cetirizine. Apply some emollient. Post an image.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. There could be various types of insects that could have bitten you and the management may differ. It would be helpful if you could post an image of the affected area such that I could get a better idea about the possibilities. You can do so using the facility on the upper right of this page. As of now, I would suggest you to apply some emollient and to take cetirizine tablet once a day. I would await your response and after looking at the image I hope to be able to give further suggestions.

Thanks for writing back.
Cetirizine is an over the counter antiallergic. It is likely to reduce the allergic effect that is most often associated with insect bites.
