Itchiness In Area Around Thighs. Is It An Allergic Reaction?
on my thighs, i may begin scratching in an area. and then when i look down at it after scratching awhile, i see that there are pin point red dots in that area and when i slide my finger across that area, it feels different than the rest of my skin. its probably an allergic reaction , but the dots didnt appear until after i scratch. it looks nothing like hives so i know its not that. is there a real name for these little red dots that appear after scratching?

Hi allergic reaction only in the grions is a very rare phenomenon.it is either urticaria or tinea infection or scabies.see out other areas like finger web areas .umblicus.wrists to rule out scabies.in urticaria see for hives whether they are temporary or lasting for more than one day.use a antihistamine urticarial rash gets subsided
