Have it evaluated: There are many types and causes of skin rashes. Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

Get it evaluated: It is impossible to answer without be able to see the rash. Let your primary care doctor or a dermatologist take a look.

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?
