Suggest Treatment For Dry And Scaly Bumps All Over The Body

i have red itchy bumps appearing randomly all over my body, they started between my fingers 4 weeks ago and are now showing in armpits wrists inner thigh under scrotem tops of arms, the itching is very intense and now my girlfriend has the same conditions. The itching comes and goes but when its there it is almost unbearable and i will scratch till it bleeds. I thought it was scabies but cant see any sign of burrows, have taken antihistimine which hasn't really helped did use hydrocortisone cream on my fingers which cleared the rash but has now turned them dry and scaley

Hi.
As per your case history of dry skin.
My treatment advice is –

1. Don’t scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply an emollient cram like enmoist twice daily on affected skin.
3. Take a folic acid supplement for 3 months and levocetirizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options are topical steroid, oral steroids taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
