What Causes Itchy Bumps On Legs?

I notice a week a go that after cutting the grass I have small itchy bumps on both my legs from my knees to my ankles. Originally I thought they were mosquito bumps but because they are not going away and have not gotten bigger I am not sure what they are.

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Itchy bumps on legs can be due to
1 Rashes due to contact with allergic and poisonous agent found in herbs like poison oak or ivy, or present in the insect’s sting or animal’s bite.
2 They can be due to friction between body parts & clothes. Maintain hygiene as this is very important in preventing these rashes. Hydration of the skin should be maintained by moisturizing creams. Use loose clothes to wear.
3 Psoriasis, impetigo and eczema are few of the diseases that are known to produce rashes or skin eruption.
4 Fungal infection

If problem persist, visit a dermatologist

Hope your query is solved
