What Causes Tiny Red Bumps All Over Body That Fades Away After Scratching?
I have been having tiny bumps all over my body for 6 days that appear bigger and red when I scratch but then fade away after 30 min. I used benadryl gel and cortizone cream but the itching still there day and night but worse at night. What could this be?
Apply 5% permethrin whole body below neck at night, including fingers, genitals, leave for 12 hours and wash next day. Repeat one more time after 3 days.
Wash all the bed sheets, towels and clothes you have worn since you got this infection. Apply one whole full bottle at one go.
Also take oral antihistaminics like cetrizine twice daily for relief from itching.
Hope I helped
