Skin Bumps Caused by Eczema
If you are experiencing very dry, red and itchy skin that secretes clear fluid when scratched open, you may have a condition known as eczema. The eczema appears as little red bumps all over the skin and can eventually become larger.
Before eczema appears you will likely experience intense itching in the affected areas. After eczema appears if you scratch the area a clear fluid may be secreted. Do not to scratch your eczema as it will spread if any of the eczema bumps are broken open.
About Eczema: Eczema is a skin condition that affects people of all ages, both men and women. The rash occurs on the top layers of skin and can be a very itchy unsightly rash. Eczema is known as an ‘atopic' rash as it only occurs directly on top of the skin and not under it.
Curing Eczema: While there is no permanent cure for eczema you can treat eczema with a change in diet, moisturizing treatments with baths and lotions, and reduction of stress over time.
It is very important not to scratch your eczema as it is very itchy and it will spread if any of the blister-like bumps are popped open.
Skin Bumps Caused by Allergies
If you are experiencing skin bumps that are itchy and swollen and seemingly unexplainable skin bumps then it might be caused by an allergy. Skin bumps caused by allergies tend to arrive suddenly and in the form of hives, rashes, or pimple-like bumps. If the location of the skin irritation is visible with your clothes on it is likely the allergy is coming from contact with an external allergen. If the skin reaction is not visible with your clothes on then it is more likely that the allergy has come from food, soaps or lotions, or clothing
About Skin Allergies: Skin allergies come from many sources and therefore the symptoms and causes are wide and varied. Skin allergies with skin bumps can be caused by a reaction to latex, contact dermatitis like poison ivy or poison oak, or as simple as a food allergy.
Curing Skin Allergies: Skin allergies are generally not life threatening and can often be reduced or cured by identifying and avoiding the allergy, showering to cleanse the area and drinking plenty of water. This will help to cleanse the outside and the inside while avoiding reaggitation of the skin allergy.
Skin Bumps Caused by Pimples or Acne
Acne Vulgaris is the most common form of acne. This type of acne encompasses:
Blackheads: These occur when a pore is only partially blocked, allowing some of the bacteria to slowly drain to the surface. The black color comes from the skin's own pigment reacting with the oxygen in the air.
Whiteheads: These result when a pore is completely blocked, trapping bacteria and causing a white appearance on the surface. Whiteheads tend not to last as long as blackheads.
Papules: These inflamed, red, tender bumps have no head. Papules appear as inflamed, red, tender bumps that should not be popped as that will increase the chances of scarring.
Pustules: A pustule is an inflamed red circular skin bump with a white or yellow center and is known as the standard zit. Be weary of how you pop the zit as it has the potential to cause scabbing or scarring.
Nodules: Nodular acne appear as much larger than the garden variety zit and can be quite painful. Nodules are large, hard bumps under the skin's surface. Scarring is common and it can take months to go through its cycle. Avoid squeezing these as it could stretch the recovery time and cause scarring.
Cysts: Essentially this is a nodule-like skin bump that filled with pus. They can be painful and scar and have long recovery time – longer if you try to pop them.
About Acne: Acne is most often found in adolescents going through puberty, however adult acne and pimples are frequent amongst both men and women. Acne is a skin reaction that can cause irritating skin bumps but is not life threatening and is considered a nuisance and potentially embarrassing in some social situations.
Curing Acne: Dermatologists often have ways of lessening swelling and preventing scarring, such as administering a cortisone shot or by using a plethora of creams, cleansers and lotions. Overall the best cure for acne is regularly cleansing and finding the right facial soaps to keep your skin balancing by identifying whether you have oily, regular or dry skin.
