What Causes Dry And Red Bumps On Arms, Thighs And Neck?

The past 2 weeks i have been getting little red bumps on my arms above my elbow, they arent itchy but i scratch them and they become dry and scabby, it was only in this spot but in the past week they have shown up on my thighs & i just found one on my neck. What are they and where did they come from?

Hello,

It could be of great help if you could send a photo of the red bumps to me for further evaluation. It could be due to acute infection, however, we should also exclude insect bite. To me, keep good local hygiene. Avoid scratching. After bathing, try to apply cold chamomile compresses, followed by aloe vera gel If there is still no improvement, or if they get worse, or any other symptom will appear, should see your caring doctor as soon as possible.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
