What Causes Itchiness And White Bumps On Skin?

I have been experiencing some itchiness on my skin, It look like little white bumps from my stomach area to under my knees and on my forearms. I don't have a history of ecsema in myself or with my family. I've tried Hydrocortizone and Oatmeal bath and it still hasn't healed my bumps or the itching

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Your symptoms are suggesting allergic reaction. It could be from any cause like insect bite, food allergy, dust, etc. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:

> cetirizine one at night for 5 days.
> wash your bedding/clothes thoroughly.

Hopefully you will see improvement in 2-3 days BUT if condition remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
