Hi,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching sensation on the skin which is multifactorial. I would suggest you to start taking anti-allergic medications such as Allegra. You should maintain proper cleanliness and avoid scratching the bumps to prevent infection. Avoid exposure to sunlight. Application of calamine lotion will be effective to soothe the skin. If symptoms still keeps on persisting you should visit dermatologist once and get it examined. Go for patch test and blood tests and start treatment after proper prescription. You should apply a steroid ointment like cortisone over the rash area for relieving inflammation and itching. Apply cold compresses over itchy rashes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
