I have a very itchy skin. I am not sure what caused it but I found some bugs on the bed the next day. The skin area itches than small red bumps develop if i scratch them. The problem is it is increasing to other parts like hands and now on the neck. Please assist.
Hi. As per your case history you are having papular urticaria. My treatment advice is - 1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
