Red Bumps On Stomach With Itching. What Are They?
Hello, a few weeks ago, I would say about a week before Halloween, small red bumps appeared on my stomach, right below my bellybutton, above my pant line. It itched like nuts, and then the small bumps turned into scabs. Now the scabs have healed over but the skin is red. It no longer itches, but the skin is red and raised. I do not know if I should be concerned if this is a rash or something more serious. I have felt no discomfort aside from the itching. The scabs were not painful and I felt 100% healthy. Please help!

Hi. Seems you have developed ringworm though i am not 100% sure without having a look at it, but judging from the symptoms that you have developed.... red, raised and itchy skin lesion in the belt area.

I would advice you to apply antifungal cream containing clotrimazole, ketoconazole, sertaconazole or luliconazole twice daily for 2 weeks.
Use cetrizine for itch relief.
