What Causes Red And Brown Bumps On The Legs, Arms, Chest And Face?

Posted on Thu, 31 Aug 2017

Question: I have red bumps and raised brown bumps on my legs, arms, chest and face now. It started about a week ago. I have changed nothing in my life. They sting at times, very few itch. They are spreading like crazy. Mostly raised brown circles. On my arms they are brown and red. I look red all over now. Like I am sunburned. What could this be and what do I do to get them under control and stopped?

I forgot to tell you this started a week and a half ago with me scratching my head like crazy. I scratched until it was raw. Then the spots came 7 days later. The red bumps are turning white now and are very hard on my skin. I feel like something is crawling on me all day long. Please help . I feel like I am losing my mind. I have dermatologist appt.

Brief Answer:
Seems to be allergic reaction, cortisone cream, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be an allergic reaction to some food, drug or insect bite reaction.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream diluted in a moisturising lotion in the ratio of 1:2 on the affected areas twice daily along with antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for 2-3 weeks.
