What Causes Itchy Red Bumps At Back Of Neck, Head And Legs?
About a week ago I noticed 5 red bumps on my hip. They were itchy. The next day there were a few more. The next day there were bumps on my legs. Now I have bumps on the back of my neck and my head and neck are itchy. Tonight my son said his leg itched and he showed me 4 red bumps on his leg. There s no rash, just the red bumps.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy red bumps at back of neck, head and legs which occurs due to allergic reaction, bug bite, stress, anxiety, clogged pores of sebaceous glands of skin with dead bacteria, sleeplessness. Need not to worry. You should apply cold compresses on these rashes. You should wash legs and back areas with neutrogena oil free. Wash these areas with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your skin once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Take antibiotic like azithromycin 500 mg. If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe hydroquinone cream , retinoids or recommend procedures like laser therapy and dermabrasion.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
