Hi,

It seems that you may be having prurigo simplex. The lesions are erythematous itchy papules spreading to the various parts of the body. There may be some cause. It may be some allergen or irritant. It may be insects, dust, fume, soap, clothe, grass, pollen,cosmetics or other. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Steroids in tappering dose for few weeks with antihistaminics might improve the condition. Avoidance of culprit agent is neccessary to prevent the development of new lesions. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
