What Do Red Bumps On The Body Indicate?
Hello, I have been getting random red bumps that look like a mosquitos bite. It s been going on for about a year r so. I get them on my arms mostly , and sometimes on the trunk of my body. Stomach chest or buttocks. Ever now and then upper leg. Usually I only have 4 or 5 , sometimes as many as 15. They are never all together. Always scattered in these regions of my body. Mostly arms. I believe they are medicine related but I m not sure. I showed my doctor and she thought they were bug bites. Not bed bugs , but more of a mosquitos . They don t itch. They start out under the skin. Get hard and a little sore the first day or so, then linger for a week . Then go away. ? It makes me nervous.

Hello,
As per your query, you have symptoms of red bumps on body which could be due to viral infection, scabies, contact dermatitis and due to allergic reaction of body to allergens as well.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do:
- Avoid application of anyhard cosmetics such as shower gel, body wash.
- Take oral antihistamine medications.
- Maintain complete cleanliness of bed before you go for sleep and terminate bugs.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Maintain complete hygiene.
If symptoms keep on persisting, then visit dermatologist once and get it examined completely and start treatment after complete examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
