What Causes Redness And Itching Sensation On Arms,legs And Back?

Red, itchy bumps have appeared all over starting yesterday and even more today. Forearms, front of shins and back on calves, upper thighs, scalp, upper arms (front and back) some on hands. Tonight I see sores in my mouth and cheek (like a canker sore) or pimple looking. I ve gone from scabies to measles, to flea bites and all things in between.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that redness, itchy bumps and eruption of sore in mouth and cheeks seems to be all due to allergic reaction and can be due to a number of causes like allergic reaction to any food or medicine or other conditions like mite infestation, poison ivy etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Allergic Medicine Specialist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests, oral swab culture etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done according to the cause..

As of now you can start taking anti allergics like Levocetrizine or Allegra..
You can also apply steroid ointment over the rashes ..
Do cool compresses..
You can also apply Calamine lotion to soothe the skin.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
