I Have A Little Red Lumps Like Flea Bites Near My Arm Pit. And It Is Itchy

Hi, I have little red lumps like flea bites that started near my arm pit n spread throughout my body in the past few weeks. They re really itchy so I itch constantly throughout the day. Today I took notice that it has spread to my penis now. I went to the doctor before and he said just put lotion on it but it hasn t helped any.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Have you been using a new pair of underwear and vest or inner t-shirt. Are you sexually active. Any burning sensation on passing urine. You need to get evaluated for possible causes like allergic reaction, fungal infection. You can apply soothing lotion like Lactocalamine lotion which along with Tablet Cetrizine at night under medical supervision should relieve the itch but the cause needs to be ascertained. You should consult a Dermatologist and get a thorough checkup. Avoid sun exposure. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink plenty of water. Avoid sweat accumulation, keep the areas clean and dry, change your innerwear everyday.
