Should I Be Concerned As I Am Having Itchy Knot Like Bumps?

I am a 36 year old black female. I keep having these itchy knot like bumps coming up on my all over one at a time. They stay for about 3 to 4 days . At First I thought it was something biting me but now I'm concerned it might be something internally. Have you heard of this

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi there.
I hear you & empathise with your predicament.
From your history & clinical description, it does appear to be a form of 'hives' or 'Urticaria'.
Judging by the fact that an individual lesion lasts' more than 3-4 days, it is more likely to be a sub-sect of Urticaria called 'Urticarial Vasculitis'.
This will require a skin biopsy & further lab tests to ascertain, pinpoint the causative factors' & then treat.
I recommend that you fix an appointment with your dermatologist at the earliest.
For symptomatic relief in the interim, please do take a tablet of Fexofenadine 180mg once a day. This can be increased in dosage to 2 tablets if unresponsive to one.
Good Luck & Good Day!
