What Cures The Red Bumps On The Arms?
I recently developed a few red bumps on my arm that appeared like mosquito bites, I paid it no mind until later on throughout the day more and more red bumps developed all over my stomach, breasts, armpits, and arms. In some areas it just one bumps but in others its either a cluster of bumps or what appears like a rash. Is there any cure and should i worry?

Hi,
It seems that most probably you may have lichen urticatus, also called papular urticaria. It is a hypersensitivity reaction to insect bite like flea, bed bug or mosouitoes. There may be erythematous itchy papular. You may consult dermatologist. Short course of steroids,antibiotics and antihistaminic may be taken. Apply mild steroid cream on the lesions. Take precautions to avoid insects bite. You mightbbe alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
