Suggest Treatment For Itchy Bumps On Abdomen, Groin And Armpits
Hello. I have had itchy mosquito like bumps on my abdomen, under my breasts, in the groin area and armpits. They itch like crazy then not at all. Then itch like crazy again. I ve had them for about 5 months but lately have been getting more and more and they do not seem to go away!

Dear,
As per the area of involvement and duration of bumps. I feel high possibility of associated bacterial and fungal infections in these areas. Usually fungal infections persisit for that long.
You may start with topical antifungals + antibacterial, which is a prescription drug. Sometimes Oral antifungals are also used for recurrent infections and involving large area and multiple sites.
Use over the counter antiallergic and calamine lotion to decrease itching meanwhile.
