What Causes Random Itchy Spots And Red Bumps On The Skin?

My skin will become itchy in random spots, often my forearms, but it can be anywhere, and when i itch, i will often the get a red raised bump or several. The skin also becomes a little rashy sometimes like i scratched too hard. These marks do not disappear right away and stay until healed. My boyfriend also developed a rash around the same time, with the raised bumps and raised bumps. We have no idea what it could be. This has been going on for a few weeks now. It s never anything too serious, but it will not go away. No other symptoms.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It may be due to allergic reaction. For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally. For itching you can take tablet acetaminophen. You may require antibiotics after consultation. Maintain proper hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
