ithchy red bumps all over my body

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.

My whole family got scabies and we went to the doctor and they gave us an ointment to put on over night and then we washed off In the morning it was just a one time treatment but if you have it really bad they may give you like 2-3 treatments depending on how bad it Is and they told us to wash everything in hot water and use disinfectant spray until everything goes away also it would help if you used sulfur soap they say it fights and helps kill them faster

I too have suffered from the itchy, burning, what appeared to be bug bites described here. The short story is I self-diagnosed the problem as an allergy to something I was eating at home that I wasn't while on the road. I narrowed the trouble down to eating sweets especially the wife's chocolate chip cookies and other baked goodies. I then started narrowing down the different ingredients and ended up with VANILLA as the problem. So I suggest here that you too may be suffering from an allergy. I might suggest vanilla as a starting point in your search. You might do an internet search on vanilla and itching to verify what I am suggesting. Whatever is your cause I wish you luck. If you do find your problem I hope you share it here with others as I have. Greg

I'm having the same problem, and I have no idea what to do. It's obviously not scabies (I've had them before, I know what the bites and burrows look like, same with fleas), and I just can't figure it out... the best thing I've been able to do for it is take an antihistamine, drink plenty of water, and use a non-scented non-oil based moisturizing lotion. Taking Omega 3 fish oil capsules help in the long run, too. Even breaking the capsules open and rubbing the oil on affected areas REALLY helps the itch. Smells bad, but it's worth it.
