Suggest Treatment For Itchy And Sore Bumps All Over The Body

Maybe two weeks ago a sore which I thought was a misqito bite on the back of my neck near my shoulder did not go away, was not immediatly itchy yet it first was a little swollen then grew flat, slightly raised and circular. It did not worry me until a week or so later I began to see red bumps appear on the other side of my chest near my neck. Over the course of a few hours to days my chest has them, my back has them and my belly has them all different sizes. I do not ever scratch them , although it is slightly itchcy but not to make me nuts. So no I am not compelled to scratch. The one that started on my shoulder looks different that all he rest. I m really scared. I remember feeling a little nauseous before breaking out with all of this evil stuff. I was looking at various pictures of red bumps on what this could be , I m at a loss of explanation now. I just pray it s not something disgusting.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you are having papular urticaria.
My treatment advice is -
1. Wear full sleeve clothes to avoid further such episodes.
2. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like mometasone cream on the lesions twice daily.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
