Hi I have some Mosquito Bite looking bumps on my body. A few on my legs about 10. And 2-3 on each arm. Aswell as some on my lower back 3-4. They itch and seem to be spreading over the corse of 3-4 days. Some go away and new ones pop up. They are spread out it doesn't look like cluster or a rash. Only the bump is slight raised and redis and light in the middle. Can you help?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy, red bumps on the legs, arms and back which occurs due to allergic reaction, bug bite, stress, anxiety, clogged pores of sebaceous glands of skin with dead bacteria, sleeplessness. Need not to worry. You should wash legs and back areas with neutrogena oil free. Wash these areas with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your skin once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. Apply Adapalene gel once at night. Take antibiotic like azithromycin 500 mg. If condition doesn't improve in a month then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe hydroquinone cream , retinoids or recommend procedures like laser therapy and dermabrasion.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
