Little itchy red bumps on my feet and lower legs

  I have these very itchy red bumps that began on my feet (after I took my shoes off) and now it is just from my ankles up to my knees, but when I scratch them they seem to pop and a clear liquid comes out and then it becomes raw when before I thought they were bug bites, my boyfriend is perfectly fine and has nothing of the sort (maybe cause they are hairy?) New ones appear on my legs throughout the day, this has been happening for 2 weeks, please help me1

  I have similiar, itching feet not too bad in daytime but as soon as I get into bed they burn and itch.  End up sleeping with feet out of the bed keep cooler it helps.  Dr. says contact dermatitis.  I think it may be from walking thro grass with paspalum grass seeding ( ergot) and having a reaction to same. Cortisone helps a little will give it a go for a while.  It is very annoying. Hope this can help others.   Oh. I am in Australia near Byron Bay where it is humid also.   Lorraine.

I am going thru the same thing. I am going on 1yr and 4mnths. my dermatologist did a biopsy and said it is angular dermatitis and it can last up to a year and can recurred. Everyday I have sleepless nights like today. It usually starts to flare around 7pm and mild during the day. This is when I try to catch up on my sleep. I'm so miserable and feed up. Very cranky and pist off  waiting for someone to **** me off to get my anger out. Sad but true. Already suffer with RA, FM, SLE, type 2 diabetes. AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL.

I can tell you, these little pin prick bumps aren't bug bites! I have the same thing going on. It has been going on for over a year! Started with a little red pin prick bump on one of my feet. Itched like crazy!!!!  While scratching it, it popped, and a small amount of clear puss came out. I get them regularly on my toes, feet, legs, arms, shoulders and stomach. My doctor has prescribed multiple meds, including steroids and creams. NOTHING HAS WORKED. I get clusters of them now. I even tried applying a very small amount of bleach to an area. I thought it worked, but only the first time. They have come back even worse than before.

Hey everyone my family has been going CRAZY itching since SEPTEMBER!!!!!!! IT IS NOW JANUARY and we finally know what we have!!!! SCABIES!!!! I didnt think it was that because I looked at every picture online and it didnt look like anything that they pictured on the web! I would get 1 bump on my leg 3 on my arm and they would almost appear right b4 my eyes! My grandaughter was the first to get these bumps and she was only a year old:( it must have been contracted through contact with people in a store cuz that is the ONLY place ppl come up to her and say hello cuz she is so cute;) it only takes 1 touch of the hand to infect some1!!! Ive read many posts about red ITCHY bumps and I was going crazy like every1 else around the world! At first I was going nuts ripping my bed apart looking for bed bugs I must have ripped my bed apart ATLEAST 100 times and then I had a professional come in to look at the house! Bugs in the house is ALWAYS a good place to start when bites r involved! If it ISNT any bug in ur house ITS SCABIES I just treated myself last night and I did my husband too! He doesnt show ANY signs or symptoms of it and we sleep in the same bed hows that for fu**ed up! The only relief I have today is that I dont feel like my skin is crawling!! I still itch like crazy and they said that is VERY normal! I will keep itching for 2-4 weeks after treatment! Good luck to u all my family has been through hell and Im glad we figured it out WE WERE GOING CRAZY!!! The worst part of all of it was trying to figure out wtf was going on Ive tried everything changing laundry soap, dish soap, bath soap, lotions, creams, Ive NEVER seen so much hydrocortozone cream it was part of our life for 5 MONTHS!!! I pray to God this is the end and I feel bad for everyone trying to figure this crap out! At 1 point I went into the drs office yelling at him cuz he couldnt tell me what was wrong with us! We have a HUGE household and me and my husband r away for a week for our monthly getaway and let me tell u its been a LONG time since Ive been able to enjoy the time with the husband without going CRAZY! My 18 yr old daughter is home with my best friend (roommate) and they r being treated tonight with my grand daughter and my 2 stepsons I cannot wait for them to feel the relief we feel GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

I woke up in the middle of the night itching the top of my foot like crazy. I looked at it and it was a raised bump that looked like a pimple. It started to spred with redness to the side and got real dark, then I put Neosporn on it and it started looking better the itching however comes in stages. When it itches it's BAD, anyway, everyday I have been getting a new bump or cluster of bumps, it went from my foot, to ankle on my  other foot, behind my knee, to my neck, to my back in two spots, they fade for a day, then itch horribly. Some are lines, some are clusters, and some are random. My husband does not have any, we do have grass but I don't roll in it, my dog has been checked for flees and I cheeked my bed for bed bugs, no luck. I live in the south and it's been a little over a year. I don't know what's wrong and I don't have time for a doctor run around. Can anyone help
