Tiny Bumps On The Body Spreading. Itching On Exposure To Hot Water. What Is It?
Hi, so the past couple of weeks I ve started to notice these little bumps appearing all over my body. They have no noticeable color but they seem to be spreading. They aren t patchy areas they are just widely spread all over my body. They seem to itch more when I get them in hot water (such as a shower). Do you have any idea what this is?
