Red Bumps On Skin, Redness And Itchy. What Is It?

Hi, my husband has been having red itchy skin bumps all over his body for about 2-3 years now. H has seen family Doctor , several Dermatologists, an Allergist, etc. We do not believe they are bug bites. We do NOT have bedbugs...had house treatment x2, and our 2 dogs do not have fleas. I sleep in the same bed, and have never had these ( and my skin usually reacts very easily to any skin problem). He has been tested for bug bites, had numerous allergies testing (patches), herpes, etc. I am an
RN, and keep feeling he has some sort of infection, or autoimmune reaction.
I would appreciate any ideas, suggestions, assistance with his problem.
Sincerely,
Sandi W.

Hello,

Red itchy skin rash for almost three years.
When an allergy is this lost it turns it a state call chronic eczema.
There it may be erythematous(Red) and itching.
It is difficult to complete cure at this stage.
We can only prevent another severe exacerbation.
If it is so the steroids will be use.

If you're thinking in the line of infection and autoimmune disease then consult you doctor for more information and help.
