What Causes A Cluster Of Itchy Bumps On The Legs, Hands And Ears?

My daughter, 19, has been suffering for the past few days with some sort of allergic reaction, or that is what we think it is, that causes clusters of small red bumps that are close together that itch, then they go away. Some of the bump clusters actually swell to resemble multiple mosquito bites in one given area. At any given time the bumps can appear on multiple areas including the palms of her hands, her legs, her ears, some around her mouth, her torso, etc. She has taken benadryl but the condition persists. Any clue?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The cluster of itchy bumps over legs, hands and ears indicate fungal or bacterial infection with contagious spread to different body parts.
My guidelines to tackle the issue:
- Bathing with antiseptic soap
- Local application of dusting powder as Miconazole (2%)
- Prescription of anti fungal as fluconazole (200mg), antibiotics as fluoroquinolones or doxycycline for best results and fast recovery
- Control of blood sugar

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
