What Causes Red Bumps With Itching All Over The Body?

Hello I have a question my husband is experiencing alot of itching in various spots on his body and has spotted red bumps, whip like scrap marks, redness, or scabby like irritations in those itchy areas. Do you have any idea what s going on or what I could possibly do to treat and get rid of the itching and skin problem?

Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
It seems that your husband is suffering from a condition called urticaria. It is an allergic condition of skin characterized by red itchy transient eruptions over body. This will can be due to number of reasons like recent infection, food, pollen grains, weather change, drugs etc.

I usually advice my patients to take antihistaminics like Levocetrizine / fexofenadine in night time.

Good luck.
