What Causes Bumpy And Itchy Red Rash On Body?
Hello, I am 54 yr old woman 5 7 130 pounds. I began having what appear to be a gallbladder issue about 5 weeks ago. I seem to have dyspepsia after fatty meals, especially meat or dairy products. An ultrasound and bloodwork came back negative. I m scheduled for a hide scan next week. I also developed a bumpy, slightly itchy red rash on my sides that might be spreading. Plus, I got a cold on top of it. I have been fatigued since the digestive issues began.

Hi,
As per your query you have symptoms of bumpy and itchy red rash on body which seems to be due to systemic causes and impaired immune system of body.
Need not to worry. You should apply only petroleum jelly and avoid touching or pricking rashes. I would suggest you to keep your skin clean and dry, protect it from sun. If condition doesn't get well then anti inflammatory and cortico-steroid ointment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
