Red itchy bumps: It is not chicken pox because chicken pox starts in the head and works its way down the body. Moreover, the rash is usually blistery. Red bumps may indicate hives.

A 37-year-old female asked:
I have itchy red bumps on my legs. Sometimes I find a few on my hands and arms too. They come every few days but always in different spots. They are a red bump but can sometimes make an entire area of my skin red?

Bit by a tick on knee and hit the same spot 2 days later. Few hours after I hit it, a red bump started forming. Thought it was because I hit it. Week later, area around is swollen/itchy and the center of the bump is grey and sunken. Hurts to touch?

I have a small cluster of bumps on my thigh. They are in a perfect circle. The spot is red and is very itchy. Could this be a spider bite or something? It is slightly raised and has gotten a little bit bigger since I first noticed it a few days ago.

Have several bumps on legs that aren't that itchy as well as "scrapes" along side of knee. Could this be poison ivy/oak? New Bumps are showing up too

Have a few red bumps on the bottom of my feet - not itchy, just somewhat irritating when I walk around. Had a similar spot of bumps on my lower leg.

I have a few tiny bumps on the side of my index finger, near the tip. Like non itchy poison ivy. Not red or painful, hard to even see. What are they?

Weird spot on my thigh, just above the knee. Been there for months. Small spot, no pain, no redness, no itchiness. It looks and feels like a bunch of tiny bumps in one spot. Tried to scrub and scratch at it and nothing has happened to it, confused?

Woke up with red spots on 1 leg. Next day more red spots and on both lower legs. Spots are itchy, slight bump in center. Dry, irritant throat @ night.
