Could Random Bumps On Right Arm That Itch Randomly Be Any Allergic Reaction ?

I keep getting random bumps on my arm was just my right arm for a while that would appear randomly and itch, stop itching but red bump would stay for a while then finally leave, has been happening since around Christmas. Now I am getting them on my left arm, my leg and now my hip. Looks like a bite but they appear randomly throughout the day. I don't use any different chemicals or anything. I also have tiny allergic like reaction on my left around since christmas eve, only itches sometimes... Nothing spreads either.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

I can understand your concern for random bumps on right arm and spreading to other part of body.

There can be multiple possibilities of your concern but I can make a possibility of Allergic dermatitis: In this condition there are eruptions along with moderate itching and in more aggravated cases there is appearance of more redness. In this condition a thorough history of contact allergens are to be taken and accordingly a specific diagnostic technique known as patch test is to be undertaken.

The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.

You can apply medium potency steroid cream application such as mometasone or fluticasone cream. You can take antihistamine benadryl or loratadine by mouth.

Take care.
