i have lupas in my skin not systemic. I have clusted red raised bumps to my face neck chest arms legs and feet that have a pinhead appearance and are itchy i have been treating with steriod cream non effectively as they continue to itch and multiply. I work in a nursing care facility where some residents have scabies and recently saw a dermatologist who said the scabies scrape was negative however rash and discomfort persist. any other possiblities of the cause?
As per your query you have symptoms of clustered red bumps on the upper body and legs which is probably due to a viral infection which is lowering down your immunity and could be due to allergic reactions.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you take a combination of the antiviral drug along with anti-inflammatory medications. Apply an ice pack to reduce itchiness and redness. You should wear cotton clothes and avoid exposure to the sun. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keep on persisting visit dermatologist once and get some routine blood investigation and skin patch test done. Avoid application of any cosmetics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
