What Do Small Bumps All Over The Body Indicate?

Sure. I have small bumps all over my body. They start out as a skin colored bumps then get itchy and get scabbed over but still continue to itch. I ve checked my dogs for fleas, none and no itching for them. I haven t been outside and even if I have, the places the rash has turned up wouldn t be from bug bites. Could this be a reaction to medication?

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small bumps all over the body which could to be due to allergic reaction, bed bug bites, scabies, medication side effects, contact dermatitis and eczema.

Consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin test or allergy test along with blood test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment .
