Itching, Zits On Upper Part Of Body. Hypersensitive Skin. Beg Bug?

hi, ive been noticing itching from last 3 days..i have a hypersensitive skin(was diagnosed when i was around 20) where if i draw with my nail on my skin without causing injury, the skin raises up and stays that for sometime. my current condition is when im back home, i feel itchy and have seen small zits mostly on the upper part of body and thighs, some of which has dried and i can feel them when i caress over it. what do you think is wrong? is it bed bugs or my health? im a 33 yr old female, 70 kgs and 5.5 n half ft tall. plz help.

Hi,

I feel that you might developed acute urticaria.

You are having wheals with itching..right?

And that remain for few hours then fade , and then relapse again.

There may be some cause.

Internal causes..infection anywhere in body,some internal disease,endocrinal or connective tissue diseases..all should be ruled out by thorough history and investigations.

For that you consult expert dermatologist.

External causes..housedust,housedust mite,pollens,soap,insects,grass.drugs ..etc
may be thought and if they are,remove or avoid them.

Oral antihistaminics like desloratidine or fexofenadine may be taken.

Apply calamine lotion.

If needed, take steroids in tappering dose.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
