What Causes Itchy Bumps To Appear In Various Parts Of The Body?

Hi I started with bumps on my abdominal, at first they were not itchy but now are, as I goggled to see what they could possibly be I found a number of things but every one does not follow all the symptoms. The strangest thing is I keep getting them popping out so now on neck some on arms and chest and just now on lower part of cheek, my next thought was looking up shingles

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy bumps to appear in various parts of the body which occurs hair follicles become inflamed which is usually caused by a bacterial or fungal infection leading to folliculitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep that area dry , wear loose cloths. You should gently wash the infected skin twice a day with antibacterial soap. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antifungal medicine along with procedure like laser hair removal and light therapy. You should apply a warm, moist washcloth or compress and apply soothing lotions. Take diet rich in fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
