What Causes Red Itchy Bumps In Various Parts Of The Body?

What would cause red itchy bumps in various parts of my body? There is no rash or pattern -just isolated bumps that look like large mosquito bites (but no mosquitos in Chicago at this time of the yeae) and other spots are red, raised much smaller itchy bumps. Could it be stress? Seems more bothersome in the evening.Thank you.

Hello,

I can understand your concern for red itchy bumps in various parts of the body. After analyzing your query I can make the best possibility of simple hives.

Hives typically are seen as simple red bumps at any part of body which can come and go randomly. It could be due to any contact sensitizers or due to change in environment and many a times we are not able to find the exact cause of the same. The best effective measure to control such kind of red itchy bumps is by the use of an antihistamine tablets such as cetrizine or loratadine to be taken for the control fo the same. I also suggest you to observe the last 3-4 hours of occurrence fo the bumps to know the exact cause of the same. You can take further guidance from a dermatologist.
All the best.
