I've noticed I've had some small, hard lumps under the skin on my hands for quite a while now. There are four of them, a bit noticeable but not really big. There's no redness or pain, but I'm a bit curious about what they might be. Could they be blood clots? Should I be concerned?

I'm really curious about what's going on with the left side of my waist. It's been really itchy and irritated for weeks, especially where my pants sit. There are some red bumps that look like a rash, but it doesn't hurt, just itches a lot! It's only in one small area about the size of an orange. I'm pretty sure it's not Shingles because I'm not in pain. And I do have allergies sometimes. What could this be?

That could be tenia infection visit your dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management.
