any ideas

I've been having these flesh colored bumps on my skin, they are pretty big (about the size of the tip of an eraser) I first started having these on my buttock area by my back. Sometimes they itch, and when i scratched them they eventually healed and left brown marks on my skin. I have been having the same problem on my arms around the fore-arm, elbow area, and legs (i have a HUGE one on my leg thats red and looks like a spider bite.) I sprayed my room and washed my linens for fleas or bedbugs. which is strange because no one else in the household is getting bit, and the dog doesn't have fleas. I have tryed lancing one of them, i just saw blood pretty much, not pus. I have taken antihistamines but no result.

any ideas? i think im going to just bomb my room lol

these bumps are hard, and when they appear, they are the color of my skin, unless scratched. I don't think they are cysts, since when i tried to drain one of them, alas no pus just blood They first appeared around my butt area, then i found one on my fore-arm, then the insides of my elbows...and a huge red one on my thigh, and some others on my lower legs.

i have bombed my room now. if this doesn't take care of itself in another week or so, I'll make an appointment with my GP.

Hi, we would get a clear picture if you would explain about the spots. This can happen due to local causes like skin irritation may be due to allergic causes.

The strongest possibility would be insect bite including chigger bites, mites, flea etc. Another possibility would b pet allergy. For itching anti histaminic and medium or high potency topical corticosteroids against prescription are quite effective. Vigorous cleansing with soap and water should be done. Clothing should be washed in hot water or treated with pyrethroid insecticides to kill mites.

Other less likely viral exanthematous infection and bacterial infection like Mycoplasma pneumoniae - serological test and chest radiography is important to rule out and should be treated with appropriate antibiotic, Rocky Mountain spotted fever (it is tick borne disease and needs serological test for diagnosis), scarlet fever; as a result of streptococcal tonsillopharyngitis, Kawasaki disease.

Hence, you need to undergo serological tests for few common causes. I suggest you to consult dermatologist and get a detailed evaluation. Take care and regards.
