Spots Are Itchy And Look Like Insect Bites. Feeling Hot And Burns When Cream Is Applied. Clears After Taking Steroid Tablets. Advise?
hi, i've had these spots that are very itchy and weep look abit like insect bites started a year ago but still hasn't gone i also feel hot all the time i've tried so many ointments and taken antibiotics but don't help much just burn the skin. They clear up after taking steriod tablets but soon as i stop them they come back again. what i dont understand is why they keep cuming back.
With little history, I presume that you are having papular urticaria.
It is also called lichen urticatus.
The cause would be the hypersensitivity to insects like flea, bedbug, mosquito or some other.
There is itchy papules on extremities and trunk.
You are right, the disease may be improved by steroids , but can relapse if the cause is not removed.
And therefore , I would like to advise you to have insects free area.
Use insecticides to keep the area insects free.
You may consult for perfect diagnosis and treatment to dermatologist ..
Thanks.
I hope you got my answer.
