Reason For Itching Bumps On Chest, Back, And Arms?

I ve noticed raised bumps (not hives, definitively) popping up on my body the past two days and they itch. My chest, back, lets arms. Not my face and neck, yet. they are not clumped but individual and all over. No fever, no aches, etc. just the itchy bumps. I ve had chicken pox as a child. I am 44, good health.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely Tinea corporis a fungal infection.But if you have a silvery scaly leison then have to rule out a psoriasis. For my patients with tenia i treat with miconazole or clotrimazole ointment for local application. I give cetrizine for itching and advise to take tab fluconazole weekly once to stop recurrance. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
