Confusion

Yesterday, red (lumpy) dots started to appear on my left arm and right leg.  I was suprised at first and thought they are mosquito bites.  However, after two days, these dots are still on my arms/legs and they appear to be "spreading".  I went on many other forums and found that there are some people that have the same symptom as me.  


This discussion is related to Bumps on thighs, sometimes appear on arm etc.

Okay, I tried using your methods.  The red tiny (itchy) dots are starting to spread.  Each day, there would be ONE new dot on my leg or arm.  It's unbearable so I don't think it is an allergy at all.  Can anyone help me with this dilemma?

Hi,

I don't think I have any known allergies.  Except when it's really cold..but it's summer, so that could not be the case.  But I will follow your advice and see how it goes.  Thank you for responding.

Hi

This may be contact dermatitis, irritant dermatitis or it could be a case of folliculitis. You may use Fluocinonide cream 0.05% on the affected areas. Do this once daily. Apply thinly over affected areas. Make sure there are no cuts or open wounds on the skin prior to applying this. This should readily respond. If a fungal component is noted, the topical antifungals may also help.

Do you have any known allergies?
