ithchy red bumps all over my body

[albert_shorty77]

On 02/25/2007 I stated having red bumps all over mostly on my stomach and legs and back.  They look like i got bit by bug bites all over. Then it has spread all over my body but the ones on my stomach have just a little all over. They itch like crazy but they are not dry or flaky and they are not open or bloody. Most of them look exactly like bug bites.
Any ideas what I might have.

This is totally weird. How many of us are there? This started for me months ago. Like tinaaz said, I don't feel them unless I scratch at them and they have a kind of sharp pain-itch, like popping pimples used to feel on my face when I was 14!  But they aren't pimples, something else. Small round bumps like the size of a pin head and some a bit larger.  And they show up either completely isolated, gathered in a group or in a row (a really weird thing), like a series of pin pricks all lined up to look like a scratch-- from an inch to three inches long. One of the lines went in a curve across one breast! ? Started with one on the tip of my nose. Thought it was a pimple but after 5 months its still there. Then I got one on my right arm. Now they are strewn across my body here and there from head to toe---a large group of isolated ones on my stomach and diaphragm area. I've never seen anything like it before. Skin conditions are ways our body releases toxins and disease from internal organs so I tend to let mine run their course---but this kind of scares me---is there some little creature running around under my skin? Or some microscopic bug biting me? If  any med student wants to take on a research project, here it is!!.

circe--your post could have been written by me.  I actually saw a dermatologist about this--she looked at a few places, told me to stop scratching them, told me to cut my fingernails.  She gave me rxs for steroid cream, anti-histamines, and antibiotic ointment.  told me not to take any aspirin products, use salicylic acid lotions and to bathe in aquanil cleanser only--take warm to cool showers and make them short. told menot to eat strawberries.  well i did all of this.  This was a year and a half ago--i sit her today covered in these bumps.  I did continue to break out while on this treatment regimen but the outbreaks did lessen and the anithistamines and potients stopped the itching--as soon as i stopped the treatments, it became acute again.  she never did a biopsy--she suggested flea bites--i have had flea bites and bug bites and i really do not thing these are either of these.  i am very frustrated and concerned.

i have also done several rounds of scabies meds and to no avail--i thought t was scabies initially but does not appear to be--if it were, the treatment should have killed them.

hey guys.

i have the exact same problem unfortunately, though its only just starting happening to me. it started off with a bumpy lump on my arm then it started to get bigger... now i have one of my thumb just smaller. first, i thought it was something to do with my cat, she might have fleas, or a bug BUT IT ISNT!!! its starting to worry me, because there obviously is a cause for it... why is it there? what can it do to me? it is going to get worse? ARE THERE ANY DOCTORS HERE? has anyone been to the doctors, yet? should i not me worrying? need some comfort people :/

thanks for your time,
