I will do my best to explain. Just wondering if I should be concerned? Take her to Dr? Or is it something normal?
So tonight my Mom asked me to rub some stuff on her back because it was itchy, she had been using back scratcher on it previously.
So I did as asked. Upon looking at her back It seemed what appeared to be little pockets of blood? Looked like little red spots all over her back. When I looked closer it just looked like little spots of blood. Has anyone else ever seen this, know what I am speaking of, or have any idea. Sorry it really grosses me out to see and talk about it, but looking for some insight. Thank all you beautiful people. May God bless.
Wasn't sure where to post this under.
So diagnosis is like as to what old sailor said, and nothing to be concerned about.
Trying- My mom does have liver deficient itchy skin.
Definately no bed bugs, no scabies.
Thank you all!! Case closed. :)
But do get it checked out. Even if we were medical professionals here, we cannot diagnose through a computer. And take the back scratcher away from her. That promotes irritation and infection.
That was my experience but as the others have said, get them checked by a Dr., as well as the itching.
The rash sounds as if it might be petechial. #1 Get an ordinary drinking glass, and in good light press the (warmed!) glass onto the skin where the rash is. If it *doesn't* fade, it's petechial - little blood spots under the skin that aren't going anywhere. Your PCP might find that useful to know. #2 There are many causes of this; and in any case any change in condition should be reported. More good reasons to get medical advice.
