What Causes Recurrent Itchy Bumps On The Neck And Arms?

Hello, My mother in law is from China. Apparently a couple of weeks before she arrived here in the U.S. for a visit, she began experiencing what she thought were bug bites on her neck and arms. It was itchy, had weird raised bumps that were enlongated and branched all over the irritated spot. After a few days they would go away but leave behind brown spots. she has been experienceing them periodically since she has been here as well and she just showed it to me. I have never seen anything like it and am concerned because I have a 1 year old who she holds all the time.

You can take Doxycycline cap twice a day for 5 days. You can take tab ldio 1 twice a day for 5 days. You can take Ranitidine tab twice a day for 5 days. Don't touch a affected part, bath with Dettol soap. Apply Calamine lotion on the affected part. If not resolved then consult your dermatologist.
