I just moved to this area last year in June...right away I started getting round bumps on my legs & arms....so itchy and when I itch they break open & have a hole in the middle...they went away & now they are back but worse...on my feet & arms as well as my legs

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Since these lesions are present in exposed area and only in extremities the chances due to allergy is more. It may be due to scabies also. Wash your clothes in hot water, clean your hands and legs more often, keep the area dry and dont break open the lesion, can take anti histamine like cetrizine before bed for itching. Consult your doctor for examination, diagnosis and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Regards
Dr. Lohit
