Itchy bumps under the skin on arms legs back......everywhere

[Itchypog]

Hi I get white, itchy bumps on my skin around the wrist and on the upper arms particularly while or just after exercising however there are times, mostly when in bed, that I get itchy all over my legs, buttocks, belly, back and arms. I have had them for a while and tried many different treatments to no avail. The best so far was a treatment for scabies but it was't a permanent fix and the itch came back after about a week both times that I tried. (I did a full treatment cycle washing sheets clothes etc at the start and end using a full body lotion so pretty sure its not scabies but the treatment did help some)

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Scabies could recur, so consult your doctor regarding this. It could also be a fungal infection. This produces fine scaly patches. Others could be due to skin conditions like contact dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. In contact dermatitis exposure to an irritant like a chemical or metal or anything you are allergic to, can cause rash and itching.You may need to consult a your doctor  who will examine you and may ask for blood tests and in addition examine the scrapings from the skin to arrive at a diagnosis for appropriate therapy.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Have you actually seen a doctor about this? They'll do a test to see what it is and if its bacteria derived then they'll most likely give you antibiotics. If its virus derived that its normally an indication of a weekend immune system and this needs different treatment and sometimes lifestyle changes.
