Suggest Treatment For Itchy Bumps On Wrists, Feet And Legs
I have little small red bumps on the inside of my writs, top of my feet, on my shins and top legs.. It s itchy and feels like a mosquito bite itch. I ve taken benadryl and it s not helping and i rub hycortizone and that hasn t helped... I applied apple cider vinegar to stop the itch but wondering if i have a virus.. internal one that keeps bringing up tags on my body... sounds weird but now i have a rash

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy bumps on wrists, feet and legs. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like hives , meningococcemia , shingles , scabies , contact dermatitis , eczema or psoriasis. Need not to worry. Avoid touching or pricking rashes. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test , allergy test and skin patch test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants and corticosteroid ointment along with antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis . For now avoid playing and take benadryl twice .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
