What Causes Itching Along With Red Bumps All Over The Body?
I started itching in august and went to the doctor and got prednisone, which helped a lot, my itch was almost gone but the weekly treatment was done and the itch continue. Eventually little bulbs appeared, that looked like holes when scratched. I Went back to the doctor she referred me to a dermatologist and he didn t test for scabies but gave me the cream. It didn t help. After a few months three of my friends began scratching,one was diagnosed with scabies and the other used the cream. My third friend went to the doctor and was told she didn t have scabies but if the cream she was given didn t work she would be treated for scabies. I m still insanely itchy but with less red bumps and I can t seem to shake it. I really don t know what to do.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain recurring red itchy bumps on your body can be due to causes like: -Severe allergic reaction caused by any food or medication.. -Any bug or insect bite that was toxic enough to cause generalized allergic reaction.. -It can also be due to Mite infestation causing Scabies..
I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests and microscopic examination of the scrapings from bumps can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
In case if it is an allergic reaction anti allergics like Allegra or benadryl, steroids and also injection of steroid for faster resolution along with steroid ointment and cool compresses over red bumps can help..
In case of Scabies oral Ivermectin and topical Premethrin lotion can help in relief..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
