Karina,

if a bump is a boil (furuncle, caused by staph bacteria), 1 cm in size or larger, it would be likely tender to touch. Such a boil has a small opening somewhere on its surface.

Small staph folliculitis bumps (1-5 mm) usually appear in groups.

A single small red itchy bump suddenly appearing on the skin may be from an insect bite.

Slowly (weeks-months) growing red bump can be a mole – benign tumor that may eventually develop into a skin cancer.

If not sure, dermatologist should check it to say what is it.

To Sue.

If you think you have the rash like described above, you may visit your primary doctor, that may give you appropriate diagnosis, and antibiotics, if needed. He can also set an appointment with dermatologist or infectologist, if necessary.

I too have had these skin problems in my life. They started when my younger brother Rich molested me when I was 12 and they never really went away. I havent said anything to my parents because I figured it wasnt worth disturbing the family peace. Sue.
