I experienced this intense intermittent itching on my upper arm though there is no redness or bumps. Within a couple days red raised bumps followed by scabs appear that are wildly itchy. These bumps then open with crater tops and a yellow fluid leaks out. It takes weeks before the itching stops. I had this last summer as well; never any other time of year. I'll get occasional ones on my other arm. Since it's so localized it seems like a contact reaction but considering there is never any change in my skin when the itching starts I'm baffled. There are probably about 1/2 dozen of the open lesions there now without any redness around them. Any ideas?
