Suggest Medication For Very Itchy Bumps On The Arms

Hi yes please. I have very itchy bumps on my arms. I ve had them since June. They started as blisters and seemed to coincide with an illness I had. My throat was very sore and I was feverish and tired and this lasted about a week. The blisters became raised bumps and they re very itchy but not all the time. The bumps seem to follow a pattern of two by two . What is this?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
By your history and description, in my opinion you are having viral rashes.
Your skin lesions are associated with sore throat, fever and weakness.
All these are symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) . And the most common cause for URTI is viral infection.
Viral infection can also cause skin rashes.
So possibility of viral rashes are more in your case.
Better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of skin lesions.
You may need antihistamine drug. Local application of steroid cream is also needed to avoid itching and redness.
All these drugs are prescribed medicines so better to consult dermatologist for their prescription.
I find this answer helpful
