What Could Cause Itchiness And Burning Sensation Due To Red Spots On Stomach And Hand ?
Hello. I m am 28 years old, female. About seven days ago I began to see small red bumps on my stomach and hand. Now I am seeing some tiny black dots under my skin on palms and fingers. I m am also feeling like burning sensation on my shoulders. I started bathing with tea tree oil and bumps began to retreat. I have very small itch sometimes between my fingers and palms. Can you please tell me whats is wrong?

Hello,
Thanks for posting on HCM,
It appears you may have contracted scabies which is a skin diseases that comes about as a result of parasitic infection or small type of mite (Sarcoptes scabiei). The areas you describe where they occur are the most common areas where this mite attacks. Often other member of your household are affected and usually comes from other that traveled from another area.
Since, scabies is not the only skin diseases that can present with rashes, your doctor after evaluating might also conclude that you are suffering from dermatitis or eczema or other skin diseases.
But if indeed you are suffering from scabies, then it will require specific treatment. My choice treatment is benzyl benzoate (commercial name ascabiol). I recommend you see a dermatologist.
Hope this helps
