Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red itchy lumps on arms, scalp and breasts. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction, contact dermatitis , eczema , psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis . Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to rashes. You should avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. You should take benadryl twice a day and avoid dry environment. You should consult allergy specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order allergy test , blood test for IgE antibodies and physical examination . Doctor may prescribe anti allergic medicine , corticosteroid ointment and anti inflammatory. Doctor may also recommend you to eat gluten free food if your problem is related with gluten allergy.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
