Please help me !!!!!

I got little irritation on my right arm a day before yesterday, and a white bump appeared on that site which automatically disappeared after 5-10 minutes.Same process happened last night also. What could be the possible reason of this ? I have also taken some antibiotics recently due to some kidney stone issues.Could it be due to some medication ?

yeah, the spots are usually gone by morning... The first time it was just on this right thumb, last night is was on his right hand.....it didn't start until we bought our house. It's scary though because his mom has had many outbreaks of skin cancer....

Thanks Vanessa for your support. It didn't repeated last night and i am observing my skin now regularly.

For kgersch86's: Ask your boyfriend not to rub it when it gives a burning sensation and it will disappear in less than 5-10 minutes. I rubbed the first one, and it leaves a red spot on my skin. Are they leaving tiny red spot after they go down ? Yes, It really looks like mosquito bites.

My boyfriend had the similar reaction last night on his hand. It started burning so he ran cold water over it and these white welts appeared like HUGE mosquito bites (only way to explain how they look) and they disappeared within 30 minutes.. Is this possibly the same thing??

Hi

White bumps on the skin may be due to postinflammatory hypopigmentation, yeast infection and even vitiligo. In your case however, vitiligo does not seem to be likely as you have noted the white spots to disappear in time. Vitiligo refers to a loss of skin cells that are responsible for pigmentation.

Just continue to observe your skin condition. This does not seem to be something serious. I do not think this is due to the medications.
