What Do Recurring Skin Bumps On Wrists And Ankle Indicate?
My 15-year old son has recurring skin bumps that do are not inflamed or itchy ... they are mostly on the inside of his wrist and on his ankle. They do not look like heat/moisture rash, psoriasis, shingles, or acne. Although they don t itch, he does scratch because he wants them to go away and then they turn red as though they bleed.

Hi...by what you quote this seems like an eczema. Its a kind of allergic reaction of skin. It need not itch always. Sometimes it can get secondarily infected. It can be recurrent. Application of topical emollients will help. But I suggest you consult your dermatologist.
