Suggest Medication For Itch And Red Bumps On Stomach

I THINK I MAY HAVE SCABIES, I HAVE A FEW RED BUMPS ON MY STOMACH AND IT ITCHES VERY BADLY. I HAVE BEEN ITCHING FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW BUT THE BUMPS JUST STARTED TO APPEAR 2 DAYS AGO. I WAS GIVEN SINGULAR BECAUSE HE THOUGHT I JUST WAS ALLERGIC TO SOMETHING, BUT I THINK IT IS SOMETHING ELSE. IT ITCHES VERY BAD AT NIGHT. CAN YOU HELP ME?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itch and red bumps on stomach which seems to be due to allergic reactions, chemicals in certain foods, insect stings, sunlight exposure , side effects of medications , some common foods nuts, chocolate, fish, tomatoes, eggs, fresh berries, and milk. I would suggest you to avoid trigger factors given above , take over the counter anti histamine like zyrtec and apply cold compresses on welts to reduce inflammation and redness . If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants or steroids along with corticosteroid ointment . Doctor may also give adrenaline short in severe case . Also keep yourself hydrated.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
