Small Itchy Red Bumps On Body...Itch when wet

4545230?1244540917
2 weeks back i started to get these Red Bumps (very small bump) on all over my body... they itch , especially when sweating or after and during bathing. I have used anti allergic medicine and creams prescribed by the doctors here but it has not affected these in any way.... only it itch less when taking regular medicine. These bumps are every where on arms, shoulders, back, abdomen, chest, legs etc. but not face or neck though.
I have never had any sort of allergy before. and am not allergic to any known medicine so far.

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to sweat dermatitis,dermatitis,heat rash or fungal infection.

Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime.Use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Also use cotton clothes and change the clothes twice if there is any increased sweating.Try keeping the skin free of sweat as far as possible. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.For the itching antihistaminics like Benadryl or Claritin can be taken.

If the symptoms persist then consultation of a dermatologist will be the best.

I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
