What Causes Raised Bumps On Ribs, Scalp And Feet In Spite Of Using Triamcinolone?
The rash started about a week ago. I come back from a class for work we stayed in a terrible hotel the beginning of November for a week i come back and had step throat i took meds for that ,then these red raised dry bumps showed up all over my chest back stomach groin arms legs a few days after I finished the meds some were small some were the size of a blood drop the small ones felt like bumps the bigger ones felt like raised dry skin,then they turn into the blood size dry patches I have a few clusters and they haven t gone away I ve had a steroid pack that was for 6 days and put triamcinolone cream on them for the itching I m only itching on the sides of my ribs and my scalp and lower back my wife doesn t have any so I m assuming it s not contagious. I have a dry cough still and the bumps are spreading still they re not on my face, palms, soles of my feet if I could send a picture of it that might help please someone give me some advice thank you
As per your query you have symptoms of raised bumps on ribs, scalp and feet in spite of using Triamcinolone which seems to be due to folliculitis and due to contact dermatitis.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- Take oral course of antibiotics such as Amoxycillin in combination with clavulanic acid, thrice daily for 1 week.
- You should apply topical antibiotics as well such as 2% mupirocin ointment.
- You should apply betadine shampoo to scalp.
- Avoid touching or pricking rashes.
If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get complete examination done and start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
