What Causes Circular Itchy Rashes On Arms,back And Legs?

I have circular rashes that itch on my arms, back, and legs. They are little, raised bumps that stay in one place and never go away. Even when they don't itch I can see them. I do notice they itch more when I eat sugar. Could it be sugar allergies. I was diagnosed with HSV 2 3 years ago. Are they from that?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain small itchy rashes and bumps which aggravates on taking sugar can be due to some sort of allergic reaction..
HSV 2 is a viral infection caused by Herpes Simplex Virus 2 and it is a sexually transmitted infection infecting the genitals and the present symptoms does not seems to be due to it..
You should consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
As of now you can avoid things that aggravate the bumps and also apply steroid ointment over the bumps and do cool compresses..
You can also take anti allegics like benadryl or allegra to reduce itching when it aggravates..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
