weird sores...help!!!!!!!!!!!

Tags: sores, painful
Okay so I got (out of nowhere) these little scabs that are placed randomly across my body (except my head (hair) face area)... they appear craterd (never were something you could pop like a pimple, just crater) and they itched, they are painful when touched, they dont bleed, they are not red and swollen they are just there and get itchy randomly, one at a time... My cat had fleas, but im guessing it couldn't be that because I dont have ANY bites on my face or head and all my bites are spread out and theres not too many, maybe 10 max across my body... What could this be? I am not sick, I already got the chicken pox.... What is this? nothing else has changed (diet,habits,bed sheets,cleaning products..)

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be insect bites, fungal infection, contact dermatitis or scabies. Scabies is an infestation of the skin with the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs. My sincere advice is to consult a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Take care and regards.
