ithchy red bumps all over my body

On 02/25/2007 I stated having red bumps all over mostly on my stomach and legs and back.  They look like i got bit by bug bites all over. Then it has spread all over my body but the ones on my stomach have just a little all over. They itch like crazy but they are not dry or flaky and they are not open or bloody. Most of them look exactly like bug bites.
Any ideas what I might have.

i also have these Little red bumps. i come to conclusión, that its aliens taking over our bodies. waiting for the right time, if you itch them they become more powerful just ignore them they will grow weak over time and die.

I have this too, they're incredibly itchy spots all over my legs, arms, back, bum  and some on stomach. Some are in clusters and some are just randomly on there own. Being a 15 year old girl in high school, this is incredibly stressful and I can't deal with it anymore.. I can't even wear a Tshirt. I've had this since the end of December 2012 and its slowly progress to about 300 spots all over my body. In February I went to the hospital and they said it was scabies (which is ridiculous because nobody in my family was getting it) since then I've had around 5 doctor appointments, 1 dermatologist appointment, 2 blood tests, and 2 biopsy. They have no clue what it is. I have an allergy test in June and am depressed about it everyday. Someone, please...please help me.

I also have the same issues and have tried doctors home remedies diet etc! Nothing works and im convinced its the chemicals in our city water. We bathe, drink,cook,wash our clothes with it and suffer. Quick hot showers are the only thing that gives me any relief and yes i know it dries the skin but feels good.

(PLEVA) pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA)
               I have no idea what or why I have these outbreaks.

I was diagnosed by my dermatologist with (PLEVA)  04/18/12.
Tiny red blister like bumps under the skin, first started in 2008, when my sister had breast cancer. She called me to come stay with her through oral radiation treatments. It was a very stressful year. I had returned home only a few times.
I posted pictures from an outbreak in 06/21/2009. There is a water treatment plant about 2 miles as a crow flys from where I live. When to my suprize my white ceramic tub had turned brown. I had been taking my long hot baths in that water?

I have found a small old pharmacy, that has liquid CAMPHOR SPIRIT. I started using it before I was diagnosed by my dermatologist with (PLEVA)  04/18/12.  It is a drying agent and has really helped me in clearing up the outbreaks. It has 84% alcohol and labled danger/poison.  Maybe if the child suffering with (PLEVA) just rubbing alcohol will give them some comfort.
