What Causes Itchy Rashes All Over The Body?

I have a rash that seemed to be getting everywhere on my body, except it is not all at the same time. It is white when the skin is stretched, and it is mainly coming either when i itch or it may cause at itch. It is also coming as big red bumps, before you stretch it and see the white skin, much like a bug bite. I know it is not a bug bite, because it is winter,and i have not been to any camp grounds, where there might be bugs. I do not know what this is, so since you are a doctor, please help me.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rashes all over the body. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like poor and compromised immunity of body, contact dermatitis can be caused by coming into contact beauty products chemicals and poisonous plants , allergic reaction, sensitivity to sunlight, side effects or certain medicines and psoriasis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper personal hygiene, take zyrtec one a day and apply cold compresses to reduce the itchiness and inflammation. Consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test , test for allergy and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid ointment, antibiotics , anti inflammatory and immunosuppressants .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
