What Causes An Outbreak Of Itchy Bumps All Over The Body?
Hey Doc. Whenever I got my friends house and shit on his couch, I break out in what I believe to be hives. they re flesh colored, irritatingly itchy, bumps and appear at random on any surface of my body that has been in contact with the couch. Can you tell me why this is happening?

Hello,
That is an allergic reaction. The best treatment to allergy is to avoid the allergen (what is causing the reaction). You may always cover your body as much as possible when you are at your friend's house or avoid sitting on the couch. If you are presently having the itchy bumps, an antihistamine like Benadryl will help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
