What is my weird skin rash?

I've had this weird skin rash thing for a long time now, and it comes and goes. I can't really figure out what it is. My doctor has been...less than helpful. First he said it was shingles (c'mon, I'm only 14!), then he said it was infantigo. my grandma,...

who was a nurse, thinks it might be psoriasis. It's basically a bunch of itchy red bumps that start at my arms and sides and just spread. They eventually stop, but after a few months it comes back again. I'm pretty sure it's not caused by stress. Anyone know what it could be?

Hi anonymous_teen,

It could be eczema, a harmless but annoying chronic skin rash. My sister has it on her legs.

Check out this site which helps you diagnose eczema (it has pictures and checklists).

Good luck!

no I don't think thats what I have. its not like big splotches of red skin, it's individiual red bumps. anyone else have an idea?

Hi, It could be a form of tinea? (ringworm)this is not serious & usually an Anti histamin can reduce this, ways for tinea to occur are if you are in contact with farming animals, or something as simple as country lifestyle ie livestock near fences. Does this make any sense to you? Otherwise dermatitis...It is very hard without visually seeing this.
