What Causes Itchy Rash Type Bumps On Chest,legs And Back Arms?
My husband has recently started getting itchy rash type bumps on his back arms chest, legs etc. they are random and sporadic. He has not changed soaps, was doing glucosamine but has done it for years, but he started really chewing tobacco alot (though he has in the past) it hasn't really left him with a really weird and unpleasant body odor. Could that also cause the rash?

Hi i did review your concern. Smoking is a lot injurious health but it generally does not cause skin lesions. I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist and get the lesion evaluated as it might be indirectly related to smoking. smoking is bad for health and you can ask him to meet a counsellor for cessation program meanwhile.
I hope this helps
