Suggest Remedy For Small Itching Bumps Spreading In The Body

ok don't know where to start from but on monday of this week i was wearing some latex gloves for work. I had two on each hand to keep them from tearing so easily. I noticed that at night my hands well backhands started to itch i scratched a bit then noticed that some small little bumps appeared i also noticed that my arms where starting to get them. The next day i woke up with my face itching really bad and had some small bumps also on my face. I want to know how can i calm down the itchiness and how to make it go away

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that itching and eruption of small bumps over the hands after wearing gloves seems to be most probably due to Latex Allergy as the common gloves available are made of latex..

Latex is one of the common allergen that can cause allergic reaction leading to Contact Dermatitis..

I would suggest you to avoid wearing latex gloves..
If there a mandatory requirement of wearing gloves you can buy gloves made of other materials like Vinyl,nitrile, rubber neoprene etc..

As of now to relieve itching you can take anti allergics like Levocetrizine or benadryl..
You can do cool compresses over the bumps..
You can also apply calamine lotion to soothe the skin..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
