Body Itching, Bruises, Red Dots. Express Concern? ITP Possibly?
Hi, I have a question about some symptoms that I ve been having. It started with itching all over my body but mostly on my arms, legs, & hands, then I noticed some severe bruises on my thigh but have not done anything that would cause a bruise. My head also itches & I have some red dots on me. Should I be concerned about this? Could this be ITP?

Hi,
After reading your history it appears that you might have developed allergic dermatitis to some contact allergen. I advise you to not pinch or pop the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. You can apply an steroid cream such as cortisone cream. If itching is present then can take benadryl accordingly. Apply a plenty of moisturizers over the affected area. If these increase the n consult a dermatologist for higher treatment
