Question 1

Bug bites: If it is not a bug bite and it is a rash, it may be from scratching that it is symetrical and in a line formation.  If it is worrisome see your doctor for a diagnosis.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: If this involves only one side and follows a dermatome pattern (google dermatone) , then this may be the beginning stage of shingles which will likely become painful later on. On the other hand, it is hard to tell what you may have given the scanty amount of information and vague description.

Question 6

what is the remedy for my itchy bumps?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis: You need to diagnose your itchy bumps to see what they are and where they are coming from. Let your doctor examine them. Meanwhile you can take an over the counter antihistamine to help with the itch, such as Allegra or zyrtec. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is also good but sedating.

Question 7

random raised itchy bumps on my body ?

Accepted Answer

Rash: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!
