What Do Itchy Bumps On The Chest And Arm Indicate?
I have two red, itchy, lumpy spots. One on my chest and one on my arm. Nurse practitioner said it was not ringworm on my chest and gave me an anti-fungus cream. Tonight another showed up on my arm. Not a mosquito bite or from a tick. If I can t get to my doctor tomorrow, I will go to med check. What could it be? Seems to be moving from chest to arm.

Hello!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to an allergic reaction. An infection can not be excluded either. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR
- Allergy tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
