What Causes Itchy Bumps On Arms And Thighs?
I have small itchy bumps that appear on my arms, thighs and sometimes neck. They appear only if I scratch them, as long as they re left alone they go away fairly quickly about 30min to 2 hours. The area around the bump can be red if I ve scratched it, but the bump itself generally stays flesh colored. Is it something I need to worry about, or just continue to ignore?

Hi.
As per your case history you are having urticaria.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors.
2. Don't take any medication without consulting a doctor as it may worsen the condition.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
