What Causes Bumps On Arm While Treating Cellulitis?
I had cellulitis on my left arm 4 weeks ago. Took KeFlex antobotics along with Prednisone for 5 days. For the last 2 days Im seeing bumps on the same arm. Its little bit itchy. After I apply over the counter hydrocortisone its goes away in few hrs. And also these bumps (mosquito bite looking..) is popping every day evening for the last 2 days

Hi Dear,
Itchy bumps on arms could be due to number of causes such as excessive sweating, reaction to any one of the ingredients, contact reaction. Need not to worry. You should keep area clean and dry. Avoid itching and pricking bumps. Apply calamine lotion if itching persists. Avoid exposure to sunlight. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry
