Hi - I have these red itchy mosquito like bumps that I notice after I wake up... they are mainly on my upper arms and feet. I went to my primary doctor last week and she said it didnt look like bed bugs, she prescriped me some steroid medicine for a rash that I have on my leg (not related) but Im wondering what these itchy bumps are!
Hi, It may be lichen ultimatum also called popular urticaria. It is a hypersensitive reaction to insects. Avoid insects bite. Take levocetirizine 5 mg thrice a day. Take oral steroid like deflect 6 mg thrice a day for 5 days then taper it twice a day for 5 days and once a day for 5 days then stop. Apply steroid with antibiotic cream on the lesions. Avoid soap bath. Thanks. Chat Doctor.
