I have 5 itchy areas on my forearm that swelled up into large red lumps after scratching them. They have gone down quite a bit but have not gone away since its onset two weeks ago. Last night I developed what looked like a small itchy red bump on my forehead and is today a large swollen red lump. I have no known allergies. Whats going on?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, I read your query and understood your concern. To me, it seems like a case hypersensitivity to an insect bite, due to which you have developed a hive. And that is why presumably it increases on itching. Take oral anti histamine like cetirizine / loratadine, and if the itching is intense you can apply a mixture of mild steroid like mometasone and moisturizer to the affected area, preferably except face. And stop it as soon as the itching subsides. Hope this helped
