Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Itchy bumps-hives: Itchy raised red bumps can be symptoms of hives or insect bites. Hives wax and wane and can occur anywhere on the bottom. The itching should be relieved with antihistamines such as zyrtec, Allegra or claritin (loratadine). If the rash persists take a photo and see your doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
