What Apart From Cortisone Cream Can Treat Recurring Itchy Clusters Of Tiny Bumps On The Limbs?
I have clusters of tiny bumps on my legs and arms. I have had it off and on now for about 2 months. These clusters move from different places on my extremities but no where else and itch like crazy. What can this be? And what else can I use besides cortisone cream.
You seem to have developed an allergic skin disease. You should avoid applying any kind of skin irritants like dettol, spirit over it.
You might need to apply a topical steroid cream over the affected area twice a day for few days. Take some oral antihistamines along. See a nearby dermatologist if the condition tends to persist despite this therapy. You might need a course of oral steroids.
Hope it helps,
