Suggest Treatment For Itchy Bumps In Arms
I have lots of tiny red, itchy bumps on my arms. My arms are hot to the touch. It has been almost a week, and nothing seems to help it go away or stop the itching. It has actually gotten worse. I have tried Benadryl, calamine, cortisone, oatmeal. I can t figure out if its an allergic reaction or something bacterial.

Hello,
Most probably it will be an allergic reaction.
As a first line management you can take antihistamines like pheniramine for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
