A member asked:

For a couple months now ive been getting tiny itchy bumps on my arms and hands for some reason. i have a dog if that contributes to the problem. ?

Itchy bumps: These are characteristic of repeated insect bites. Have a vet check your dog for ticks or scabies(mange). You could also be allergic to your dog if others in the family who handle the dog don't develop rashes or bites. In the meantime take an antihistamine like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or claritin(nondrowsy) to reduce itching.
