Suggest Remedy For Itchy Skin Patches/bumps On Hands
For the past 2 weeks I ve been itching like crazy, when I scratch red(and sometimes purple) dots underneath my skin appear, they started off on my stretch marks but now if have different patches, they disappear within a couple days. I have the same thing on my hands but they re white bumps. I really want to know what s causing it and how to take care of it, thank you (:

Hi,
Most probably you may be having contact allergic dermatitis. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Oral steroid in tapering dose and antihistaminics like levocetirizine may be taken till the good result. Apply mild steroid cream. Avoid contact with suspected allergens.
I hope this would help.
Thanks.
