Red Spots With White Thin Centers All Over The Body, Itching. Treatment?

I have had red spots that itch really bad. A dermatologist did a biopsy and it came back as dermatitis. Everyone looks at me and says it is bed bugs. They are not going away. I laid in the sun the other day and they itched that night and the next day. How can I get rid of them. They are on my arms, legs, stomach, back, hands, feet, chest. All over. They have white thin centers. It seems like when I pull the white out it stops itching. can you help?

Hi,
If this is due to bed bugs,red spots may not remain for longer time and see that are you having bed bugs in your house.
It seems that this is dermatitis.
Avoid wearing synthetic clothes.
Use branded cosmetics or for some time stop using.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Levo-cetrizine for itching.
Once itching will stop spots will become disappear gradually.
Apply Vaseline body lotion all over body and keep body skin moisturized.
Avoid stress and junk food.
Ok and take care.
Ok and bye.
