A member asked:

I get urges to scratch at my arms and am unable to stop, even when bumps start appearing. i also have been getting tremors in my arms and hands.

2 issues: The urge to scratch is a psychological problem and difficult to treat. It is called dermotilomania and the bumps are referred to as either keratopilaris or neurotic excoriation. The tremors are more worrisome. For this, you should see a neurologist.

Explanation : Your itchiness possibly caused by these "bumps". You can use different cream with Benadryl or cortisone to help yourself 2-3 times a day. Tremor may be caused by your agitation due to itchiness. You can try Benadryl. But my major advice: tell your parent about this symptoms and check possibility of allergic reaction. Some times allergy can be dangerous.
