A. Whenever I get welts they stay red for a few hours, but I've had some have stayed red for days. I think it depends on where it is, what it's caused by, and if it keeps getting irritated.

I have a quarter sized bruise on my leg that has turned into a welt over 4 days. Any idea why?
Q. I bruised my right calf in a fight about a year ago and also had a welt for about 6 weeks afterwards. In 2003 I had MSRA (Methacillan Resistant Stapholocaucous Aureous) but was cured by antibiotics. It is a blood disease, could this be related?

A. Are you talking about dermatographia? I've seen it before when I worked in dermatology - you can "write" on the skin with a fingernail and the skin will flare up so you can read what you wrote.

A tick latched on to my leg today and it left a welt should I be concerned?
Q. It was only attached for five minutes or less on my knee. I removed it carefully with tweezers.
Asked by Dr. Brisbane - Sun Mar 2 02:30:05 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Most tick bites are harmless. If you didn't get it all, you develop a rash around the bite, or you develop a fever or an infection in the bite, see your doctor.

Who was the player that got a big welt on his hand after being hit by pitch this past weekend?
Q. Batter got nailed in hand and a big ol' welt formed seconds later. Who was that? Is there any video of it? Friend does not believe me! I saw the clip on ESPN but can't find it anywhere! It was the hand only. The swelling occurred nearly seconds after he was hit. I just want to show proof to a friend of mine. The swell looked like the baseball got absorbed into his skin it was so big! Thanks! It was Torii and the video is excellent! Friend is now a believer! Between that hit and Derrick Lee's hit I'm feeling that pain! Thanks as always guys!

Q. Looking for advice on how to discuss this with the daycare.
Asked by MDOhio - Mon Jan 12 15:18:00 2009 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Go straight to the day care with your child and ask them in a concerned tone (not accusing) what happened to the child's neck. After the teacher tells her side of the story of what happened, tell her what your child told you. Then ask the child again about what happened.

What could a red welt with a white center be on my three kids?
Q. All three kids have a welt that is red with a white center on different spots on their bodies. My 2 year old has one on her butt and my 6 month old has one at the very top of his diaper area. So I just assumed it was a bad diaper rash. Now my friends son has one on his shoulder blade, so I'm thinking its something else. Any suggestions?
Asked by Libby L - Thu Jul 31 19:52:14 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It could be a variety of things, including MRSA. MRSA looks like a large, pus-filled red welt with a white center that is hard and hot to touch. It requires topical and sometimes oral antibiotics. MRSA requires immediate treatment. Please take the children to the doctor. If the lesions have pus, try to drain them by gently holding a warm wet rag to them. Do not press hard or squeeze them.

My girlfriend has a welt on her shoulder,under her brastrap,what is it?
Q. earlier it just looked like a rash from the bra-strap but now its a good sized welt that looks like a giant mesquito bite.
Asked by Jared T - Tue Sep 18 01:02:36 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It could be a boil or just an extra large pimple. Women can get those around the bra straps area. Tell her to take a warm shower and not to pick at it or attempt to pop it. Also make sure that if she starts to run a fever to get her into emerg. Boils have nasty concequences... and if you dont know the difference between a bad zit and a boil, dont take your chances if she starts to run a fever. If it doesnt give her other side effects, just wait it out and let it go away on its own.

A. What does it look like? Is it flat? Is it a bump? If for some reason it hurts, get it checked out by a doctor. If it is just cosmetically ugly, don't worry about it. Wash it, and keep it clean.
