How To Treat The Red Cluster Of Bumps On Forearms That Was Not Caused By Insect Bites?

Tiny pinpoint red cluster of bumps on forearms. Extremely itchey! Dr. prescribed particular ointment. Eased itching somewhat. Appears every few months since July 2013. General practitioner says not c, mites, environmental hazzards. With each outbreak the tiny red bumps appear on my wrists and lower part of thumbs.
Doc has no idea what it is. All the things it could be seem to be eliminated. Any suggestions?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that they are due to the allergy to some thing , it may be the food,clothes, woolen,soap, or cosmetics etc.
If you can trace it out by making a list of the recently started things, you can find the thing you are allergic to , and can avoid it.
There is possibility of some infection as well so to make a trial, you can use some drugs .
i usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms citrizine, penicillinV tablets, and some steroid ointment for symptomatic relief.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
