Why Do I Have Itchy, Red Bumps That Are Spreading From Leg To Torso To Neck?
I have what look like mosquito bites, red bumps that itch like crazy and have spread from leg to leg to torso to neck. Maybe have twenty total with a few new ones popping out daily. Woke up and found two new ones on my neck. They have a little ooze from them after about a day.
It seems that you may be having lichen urticatus..also called papular urticaria. It is a hypersensitive reation to insect bites. The insects may be bed bug,flea, mosquito or some other. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. I advise in my patients having such disease..... oral steroids in tappering dose and antihistaminics like levocetirizine. And to apply mild steroid cream on the lesions. Take all precaution to prevent insect bite. Avoid soap bath. You may use dettol in water for bath. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
