Itchy Bumps On The Body. Have Scars. How To Get Rid Of Them?
I have been getting these weird bumps on my body, that appear to be similar to zits but seem bigger. They last for a week or so then clear up and leave what appears to be a little hole in my skin. It heals up and leaves a scar after a few days. The scars are still there and have lasted a few weeks. They hurt to push on and itch a little bit. I ve had one under my arm , on my lower stomach and now my groin area. What could these be?

HI,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition can be scabies, prurigo,papular urticaria etc.
Treatment will depend on diagnosis of particular condition.
A visit to dermatologist will allow proper diagnosis and treatment.
Meanwhile you can take tab.cetirizine once or twice a day for few days.It will reduce the itching.
Hope this helps.
