What Causes Large Bumps On The Arms?
I ve gotten this weird mark on my arm about 2 or so weeks ago. It s a large bump (wide, but not very thick) and has multiple holes on it and around it. Since it was scabbed over at the time, I thought it might have been dry skin or something, so I covered it with a bandaid and left it alone. I changed the bandaid last week, and did again today, but I found that the mark spread to the edges of the bandaid. The original mark is scaled over, and the newer ones are light pink with a darker red around them. I don t think it s an allergic reaction, seeing as I haven t been shown to be allergic to anything, and it s on the back of my arm. Is it some sort of bug bite? Is it something to even be worried about?

Hi,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I recommend using daily antihistamines such as Levoctirizine daily. I also recommend using hydrocortisone lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
