What Causes Itchy Red Bumps Behind The Thighs?
I have an out break on the back of my thighs, round and red. Alittle sting and itch but not very painful. However, quite uncomfortable. I have been taking RABEprazole for about a week or so and was wondering if the bumps could be an allergy. I also recently started taking Metamucil.

Hello,
It could be of great help if you can send a picture of the affected area with itchy red bumps behind the thighs.I do not think it is allergy unless there is any insect bite site.
If it is similar to bull's eye then should seek immediate medical attention as it might indicate Lyme's disease.Apply calamine lotion to ease the itchiness.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
