Common Questions and Answers about Itchy red bumps on legs and arms
itchy
Hi
There is a common skin condition called hives or urticaria, which causes red and sometimes itchy bumps on your skin. Hives can occur anywhere on the body such as the trunk, arms, and legs. Hives are usually allergic (food, medication, cosmetics and insect stings) but may also be due to infections and stress. Many a times no specific cause for them is ever found.
Most cases are mild and resolve on their own. They usually go away on their own.
A month ago, I got these little red dots on my back and stomach. they're really itchy. suddenly, they've transferred into my arms and legs. after sometime they're gone, my skin became "chicken skin". and now when I feel itchy and scratched my legs, red itchy bumps will appear. They're like mosquito bites. But when I stop scratching, they will be gone after few minutes. What could these be?
Within a day or so started getting really itchy bumps on the side of my elbow, back of arms, forearms and inside bicep and somewhat minor irritation under armpits and down rib cage (not so bad along rib cage) I thought it was a heat rash or something so i kinda just let it go for a few days ( scratching of course took place).. as the days went by it seemed to get worse and more red spots and itchiness...
ive been taking benadryll 25mg and zyrtec 10mg regularly, and the rash had all disappeared except that my cheeks and palms still get flushed when im nervous, cold or take a hot shower. tonight, my legs were itchy and i noticed small, itchy red bumps on my legs and arms that look nothing like my previous rash and i am very worried about this new rash. it has been a month now and i just want it all to go away. any help would be much appreciated!

After getting home We have noticed red, itchy bumps developing on our legs and arms, mostly where our skin was exposed to the sun. They are getting increasing worse. This is day 3 at home and my legs are covered with these itchy bumps. My arms are almost as bad. What should I do? I can't stand the itching!!
I have also started noticing that my body is itchy all over and the painful red bumps have spread to my chest and ive started getting what almost look like spider bites on my legs (which could be the same thing, but they are just bigger on my thighs). Also, when I get out of the shower my skin is particularly itchy and a red blotchy rash appears and then clears up after about 10 minutes.
I have had this itch on my legs and arms for awhile now. I would say it is mostly on my legs and top of my feet, but every now and then on my arms as well. I don't have any traditional looking rashes. It looks like red bumps that get irritated when I keep scratching them. What could cause this? Does living in humid wether have anything to do with it? Also, if it is not cause by humid wether what could cause it? My girlfriend also started getting itchy legs...

So about 8 months ago my son who is 9 broke out in a rash/bumps which started on his butt cheeks, moved to his legs (mostly around ankles) but still had bumps on his theigh too, then He had about 15-20 bumps on his stomach, back, arms and neck. So I took him to the dr and the nurse practitioner diagnosed him with scabies. We treated him with the cream along with putting hydra Cortizone cream and Teatree oil all over his body. Within a week they went away.
Another blister looking bump appeared and i can tell that there is three in total on my head and one bump on ahaft (smaller and red) If anyone can help me diagnose this it would be very helpful. I can deal with the itching so far, besides at night but the bumps i want to get rid of or diagnose because i am verrrryy scared that it may be an STD???
For the past week and a half i have been noticing small itchy red bumps appearing on my skin it started only on my wrist then spred to the back of my legs, my arms, underarms and neck.. it seems like every day there are more and more and they become more itchy i don't think any think in my lifestyle has changed ex.. eating habits laundry soap, body wash etc... i don't know what is causing them althought it started the day i found out i had a virus in my intestine and was really sick...
About days ago, we just moved to Canada. And it was really cold, and my legs started to itch so much. I applied rubbing alcohol, and It haven't itched. The following day it was itchy again, so I took a warm bath on the tub, and I realized that there were tiny red bumps on my legs. I don't know if they were present the day before I noticed it. But when It started to become itchy, it was only red and irritated patches.
It was on my legs, arms, and under my belly button. If it is PUPPPs it either goes away after delivery or simply on its own. But your doctor can prescribe you with a safe antihistamine to help with scratching. I recommend witch hazel throughout the day, Cortisone 10 after drying off from a shower, and coconut oil in the shower as a body wash. Baths don't help it, this is something that needs to be dried out.
