Suggest Treatment For Itchy Pimple Like Bumps On The Back Side And Chest
My husband has had bumps, like poison oak, red with some having pimple like heads, all over his back and some have spread to chest and sides. His dermatologist does not know what this is. Its been present for over 2 months and is very very itchy. What kind of doctor should he see?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I appreciate your concern from the history given here this could be atopic dermatitis if I would be a doctor of this case then I would treat this case with the following medicines,
1) Diphenhydramine lotion for local application
2) Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day
3) Tab Hydroxyzine 10mg once in day at bed time
if this regime fails to respond then you need to see the dermatologist, for second opinion, hope this information helps you have nice day.
