Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you red itchy lumps on leg, lower abdomen and back . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like contact dermatitis , an allergic reaction , side effect , sensitivity to sunlight , eczema , psoriasis and scarlet fever .
