Suggest Treatment For Itchy Bumps On Wrist
Question: Hi,
So early feburary of this year I had an itch one side of my wrist that was accompanied by a cluster of tiny bumps. I didn't think much of it at first until it began to spread. The "rash" is now everywhere except my neck, face, feet& palms. The rash doesn't seem to follow any kind of pattern. It's just VERY itchy. I will attach a link to view a photo.
