The mystery freckles

About a month ago I noticed a few extra freckles on my arms and back and they were itching. on my back i would get a sharp stinging feeling that would run across or up my back like I was being stung over and over by a bee. but everyday since then I get more and more freckles. I have tried every cream I can find and nothing is helping. I itch more at night. sometimes I can rub my arms and feel something pocking out of the brown spots then i run my nail over it and it comes off. I have never seen freckles like this before. any ideas?

I don't know if you have ever had chickenpox, or what your age is, have you investigated Shingles

See a dermatologist.  I didn't want to spend the money but am glad I did.  I went to have one spot looked at and he removed 17 pre cancerous things from my face.....  It was worth it.

    I am so sorry that you are itching so badly and feeling like bugs are stinging you.  A lot of us have that same sensation.  
     The fact that you can rub off the freckles, leads me to think that you have mites and this is some of their feces.  Yuck!

   Please join our forum  Invisible Bugs crawling on skin?  Strange sensation...
