What Causes Itchy Bumps On Body Along With Swelling And Pain In Foot?
Hi, for the past few days I have been getting itchy bumps scattered across my body. I thought it might be bug bites, but because it is winter there are no mosquitoes, and the itchiness is off and on. However today I discovered that the arch of my foot was swollen, itchy and painful. I thought it may be an allergic reaction, but I haven t made any change in detergent or lifestyle, so I am wondering what could be causing this. I have two dogs, could it be tick bites? They do not seem to have fleas.

Hi dear..It could be a parasitic infection perhaps.
I would suggest you to take one tablet of albendazole only one tablet once for a day.Apply calamine lotion over the itchy bump..
Also take tab.cetrizine / ciplactin twice a day for five days for the itching to subside.
If you feel your dogs are having an infestation, treat them for it( ask a vet)
I hope this answers your question dear.
Take care
