Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy bumps on arms, waist and legs. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain reasons like allergic reaction , side effect , sensitivity to sunlight , eczema , psoriasis , seborrheic dermatitis , chicken pox or scarlet fever. I would suggest you to avoid applying any cosmetic product or hard soap , take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl and apply cold compresses on bumps to reduce redness and inflammation . If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
