What Causes Small Bumps With Itching On All Over Body?
My 2 year old is getting small skin tone bumps on her body. They look like bug bites. They have appeared on the arms, legs, chest, feet, back and chest. They appear to itch her. When they are scratched they become red and appear to multiply. When treated with cortisone the itching stops and the bumps dissappear. This does not seem to cure the problem because they come back.

Hi, these skin lesions appear to be insect bite as per the history you have given. Insect bite usually have itching. I think that you should give hydroxizine syrup 5 ml PO three times a day for 3 days. I will be able to help you in a better way if you provide some pictures of the skin lesions. Take care.
