Red itchy bumps on forearms, thighis, body

I'm not sure what this is but it's been going on for almost a week. My stomach started itching a week back and I couldn't stop itching it and finally i scarred my stomach and it is now scabbing. Shortly after  many tiny red itchy bumps appeared on my arms, legs, and thighs. At the inner join area of my arm there were tiny groups of bumps which have swelled and gone back down and they look like nothing more than a rash now. My arm and thighs now have tiny bumps all over and they itch. If I itch them more pops up. My stomach/body have some bumps and they do itch but nothing serious. My hands and fingers have tiny 1mm ish blisters? showing up as well.

Ok, I'm back. I started taking supplements 2 days ago, but I'm still having the same issue. I can say the iching isn't as bad. I started to look further into the issue and I'm almost completely sure that what is happening to me is called Urticaria. Look it up on Wikipedia. That's all I have for now.....

I started getting these red itchy bumps in the middle of January 2011. I had just started working out when I noticed the first bumps. I am a very clean person, but I thought maybe something bit me while I was on the floor doing sit-ups. When the bumps kept appearing in random places I knew that wasn't the case. These red bumps did not have puss or anything and they would disappear after a few hours. Just like many people who describe this same thing, the itching is horrible--- very unbearable. My lip would swell every once in a while. I knew it was not an STD or anything of that nature, so I thought it could possibly be allergies. I started taking Benadryl and it relieved the itching but as soon the Benadryl was out of my system the bumps would reappear. I also knew that I couldn't continue to take medicine because it's unhealthy. Here recently I have had to take more Benadryl throughout the day b/c it seems to not work as well as before.

I was already trying to research the issue on the web, but I realized I had to immediately figure out what was going b/c it was getting worse. I can't afford to go to the doctor, especially since most of the people that have gone to the doctor were still experiencing the "red bumps" after their visit. I've read a lot of similar stories, and only a few make sense and really relate to my situation. Compared to other peoples situation. All I know is when the bumps started to occur I was under a lot of stress & since Benadryl helped I knew it was the anti-histamine in Benadryl that helped. I saw a post on here by leia700 on Dec 27, 2010 at 08:36PM. This person went to a health store and starting using supplements for this issue. Since it seemed like this person was experiencing the exact same thing and the supplements worked I'm going to try the supplements.

I also did research on HISTAMINES. They are released during stress. I found a lot of interesting things on this topic.


I visited the website below:

(I am Christian & this website is talking about Kundalini. I did not get into the details of Kundalini b/c my main concern was histamines & the info on this website was very helpful.)
