Itchy Skin, Big Problem
Posted: 11-20-06 15:36pm

I'm 35 and have just developed some skin problems. They seem to be hives, but i'm not sure. More often than not, when I scratch an area, I notice a lot of bumps appear. There's also redness, it's very warm and itchy, and the bumps tend to move from place to place depending on if I can manage to leave that area alone, but end up scratching another.

Sometimes it's very severe and a real obstacle for work, sleep, and everyday things in general. I haven't been in contact with anything i'm allergic to and have had hives before, but it wasn't long-lived and they went away without drugs. Nothing in my lifestyle has changed, other than there is more stress in my life which I know can be a cause. Problem is, the stress isn't going to go away anytime soon, but I need a good home remedy I can use reliably, preferably without drugs and drowsiness as I have no health insurance and can't afford to keep going to the doctor. I have an active lifestyle with children and don't want to miss out on anything!

Please help me!

hi, i'm 22 and i'm experiencing kinda the same thing. I have these red itchy bumps on my inner thigh, around the armpit area, the chest and on my hips. I went to the doc, and she said that it's definately not scabbies. She said it could be part of the exzema familiy. But i'm not so sure. She did give me this cream, but i'm not so sure that it's not working. Also, I have a lot of bruising on my left uper thigh where the bumps are. I guess i'm just gonna have to go back to the clinic, but I have no insurance. Maybe somebody out there know's what this rash is.
