What Causes Red Bumps On The Body?
Question: Hello, I've been to a couple different doctors and they all seem stumped. For the last 3 weeks I have had red bumps over my body but mainly on my arms, and very deep dark purple circles around my eyes, my eyes are very burning and get red.
I have been on allergy medicine for a little more than 3 weeks now and it has not helped. I also have an allergy test appointment coming up. I am just trying to figure out if this is some kind of allergy problem, or a dermotology problem.

I have never had a history of allergies but I did move back up to school about a month ago.
I uploaded pictures of my eyes and bumps on my arms. The bumps are mostly on my arms but there are a couple all over my body. My eyes dark circles are getting worse, deeper and darker grey purple. The veins under my eyes seem to be showing a lot more, and hurt, my eyes also burn and become red.
