Hi,

I think you may be having prurigo simplex. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may cause some of triggering the lesions. Apply steroid cream on the lesions.

Take antihistaminics and antibiotic for few days to weeks. And avoid the contact with suspected triggers.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Your symptoms can be related to many medical conditions. I suggest you to use antihistamines daily to treat the itching. You should also continue using Cortisone cream for relief.

I suggest a physical examination and a complete blood count for proper diagnosis and treatment.
