I have itchy bumps on my arms, what's going on?

There are small bumps on your arms and they are very itchy. Common causes are allergies or eczema. Please remember not to scratch them with your hands, otherwise it may worsen the condition. If it is caused by allergies, stay away from allergens in time. If it is eczema, you can apply some ointment.

1. What is the reason for itchy red bumps on the body?

Sometimes it may be caused by an infectious disease, sometimes it is dermatitis that causes red bumps, some are eczema, and some are allergies. Only by distinguishing them clearly can we solve the problem properly and provide targeted treatment. Otherwise it is easy to get delayed.

Second, when you identify yourself, keep the following points in mind:

1. Several people have this situation. Is it a minority? Is it just me or are there many people? If many people have red bumps and itching, it may be scabies. It is directly caused by scabies, which means that the disease is contagious. If scabies is contagious, you should pay attention to isolation and disinfection and treat it early to avoid more discomfort. If you are the only one suffering from this, it is possible that you have dermatitis or eczema.

2. Be careful to distinguish whether it itches during the day or at night. If it itches during the day and at night, it may be dermatitis. Dermatitis causes itching. If it itches severely at night, it may be scabies.

3. Have you ever come into contact with items that may cause allergies? If you have been in contact with something that is prone to allergies, the itching is directly caused by the allergy. The red bumps and itching on your body may be caused by allergies. Anti-allergic drugs will be effective.

4. I don’t know if ordinary medicines are effective. I haven’t seen any effect. If ordinary antipruritic drugs have no effect and there is no obvious effect, you should also suspect scabies. Only when everyone can clearly distinguish their own situation can it be better. This is more appropriate. For example, red bumps and itching on the body may also be folliculitis, dermatitis, eczema, ringworm and the like.

3. How to treat itchy red bumps on the body?

The simplest, most cost-effective and effective method is to use "warm and hot" water to rinse the itchy area while taking a bath, repeatedly for about five minutes. Of course, warm scald is the hottest temperature your skin can tolerate, not meant to burn you. If you scald the affected area morning and evening for three consecutive days, it will be completely healed. And as long as it itches, it will go away immediately after being soaked in hot water. If it is not a normal time to take a bath, you can also use a cup of warm water or a hot cup to warm the itchy areas. The itching will go away after a minute. This method is very effective and works every time!

For the itching caused by red bumps, sometimes medicines cannot control the itching in time. Some people cannot control their hands because of the unbearable itching. Remember that scratching is definitely not advisable. In addition to applying ointment, sometimes we use some small methods summarized by ourselves, which are also very good, and with the help of medicines, we can completely get rid of the trouble. But sometimes the medicine is completely ineffective. This phenomenon is common for people who suffer from seasonal skin allergies all year round. In this case, we can only keep a good mood, try to restrain ourselves from thinking about the itchy area, and try to divert our attention!
