Itchy Red Bumps On Abdomen, Below Eyes, Under Breast. Seems Food Related At Times. Suggestions?
I have itchy red bumps that started on my abdomen - and seem to itch in one spot or another. the areas on the abdomen seem the same - under breast area and lower abdomen. Seems to be where skin touches skin or where clothing or fabric rest. On my face, along my jawbone became bumpy and itchy and then a few itchy bumps below my eye, then a few hours later, I had a few very small bumps on my eyelid and then in both eyebrows. One bump appeared on neck then went away. No bugs - unless microscopic, and at times it seems related to food. This is not consistent. Any thoughts?

Hi,
It seems that this problem might be due to some allergy either taking some food contained allergen or from clothes, synthetic, cosmetics or some spray.
Try to find out allergen.
Have you used some new clothes or purchased new powder, soap or body lotion ?
Take Cetrizine or Levo-cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days.
ok and take care.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Itchy red bumps in lower abdomen under breast area may be due to fungal infection as the sites are more prone due to sweating.
But itchy bumps on face, along jawbone and then below eye, on eyelid and on eyebrows suggest the chance of spreading infection. If you upload the photo here it would be better for us to diagnose. The chance of allergy is less but possible. I advice you to consult your doctor once for further examination.
For itching you can take anti histamine like loratidine BD or cetrizine before bed with montelukast (Singulair) 10 mg once daily for allergy. You may require antifungal ointment for the fungal infection but need to diagnose it by examination before applying. Hope this will help you.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
