I live in az. We recently had a lot of rain. I have been itching since it started and notice I have two small bruises on my arm. The itching isn t like a bug bite, but like I m getting bit all over my body. Like it moves. Hope that makes since. What could this be. My dogs are itching too. I put baby powder on us all and it seems to tame it for us all.
I understand your concern for the itching on the arms. After reading your query it appears to be related to scabiesmite infestation.
It is is quite common ot find such kind of clinical manifestation where typically there is more itching at night time.
In my patients I suggest them to apply a cream or lotion containing permethrin 5 % over night application for once a week. An antihistamine tablet such as cetrizine helps in reducing the itching of various areas.
Simultaneous treatment of the other family members and your pet is also quite important to take care of the problem completely.
If despite above measure the things are not better then should meet a dematologist.
All the best.
