Rash on tummy
|
|
|
I've noticed that I have a LITTLE rash on the left side of my stomach. Before about a week or so ago I'm pretty sure it was a bug bite, since me and my boyfriend had been fishing that day and there were a lot of bugs. So, I had what I thought was a bug bite the next day. It's turned into a rash type-thing. It's kind of bumpy looking like poison ivy, itches sometimes, but I know it's not poison ivy cause it's a LITTLE patch and I've had poison ivy before so I know what that's like...
What could it be?!

It could be something as simple as a reaction to a bug bite. Have you been using cortisone creme on it? And does it itch?

I would think bug bite too since the recent outing, but could it be heat rash or something similar if you were not venting your body well enough too?

As long as it remains a little rash on a small patch of skin, try keeping it clean and it will probable go away.
If it spreads or itches, try an antihistamine to kick it to the curb.
If it takes more than a few days to get it to fade and disappear, then go and see your doctor. But it sounds like a reaction to the insects. Maybe a few insects bit your exposed tummy?
