Re: worried: bumps on scar line - biopsy indicates allergy
Dear Shobha,
I'm a pathologist and I see this kind of skin reaction every day under my microscope. IT IS NOT CANCER!
About 50% of the time no specific cause is found, but it can be due to a drug, or food, insect bite, a cream applied to the skin, laundry powder etc. Occasionally a fungal infection is the cause, but that would have probably shown on the biopsy, if no anti-fungal cream had been used prior to the biopsy. Some people just have a tendency to rashes (eczema).
Mostly the treatment is corticosteroid cream which an oral antihistamine if particularly itchy.
Hope it clears up soon.
