Need Advice On Allergy Factor Causing Red Bumps On Skin.

My three daughters have been getting these red bumps all over there body even on there scalp. The complain several times a day because they itch so bad. Once they have itched them they start to get scabs there. I have took them to the Doctor and all they tell me is that they are allergic to something. I am just wanting to know what else this may be?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

This could be allergy but i will be able to guide better if you let me know following questions:
> Age of all children
> Any such symptom in the past/ If yes, then how did it cure?
> Do they feel itching between finger beds?
> Do they have itch particularly at night?

In most cases allergy can be due to food, dust or pollens. In dermatological language it is called "Urticaria". At the same time this could also be scabies. Above mentioned questions help in differentiating both diseases.

Hope this answers your question.
Wishing them good health.
