Is The Red Itchy Bumps With Dry Patches On Skin Symptoms Of Eczema Or STD?

Two months ago I started having itchy red bumps on my legs, butt and stomach. Now its become round, dry rough patches of skin that still itch. Also on my hands I have tiny blisters that itch and spread if popped then dry out. What is this? Is it eczema or an std?

Hi,

It seems that you may be having eczema..nummular eczema. There may be secondary bacterial infection. The eczema may be due to some allergens. Some contactants like housedust mites,pollens,soap,clothes,wool,cosmetics,deodorants or some other may be responsible. Consult dermatologist, to have firm diagnosis and proper treatment. Antibiotics,steroids in tappering doses and antihistaminics may be taken to improve the disease. Local steroid with antibiotics may be applied. You may be improved. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
