How To Treat An Itchy Bump That Is Spreading Along As Small Bumps?
I have an itchy rash on my back. It does not heal. New bumps start with a sting from the inside with a dot of blood. A raised itchy sore grows from this. It started with a few sores in 2006 and now covers my back with a few on my legs and arms. Nothing helps but benedril and calomine lotion. Some nights I think I will scream!@ It use to help the itching by taking the scab off but no longer. I am in poor health - diabetes, heart attach, stroke, seizures, blindness, tunable to walk, edema, night sweats, But the itchiness is the worse of it all.

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to allergic reactions.
For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
You can take tablet loratidine for itching.
Avoid harsh cosmetic products.
Use loose cotton clothes. Avoid sweating.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
