Dry skin??!

Dry skin??

for the past 3-4 days,i've been waking up with itchy red bumps on my arms and legs. at first i thought they were bug bites, so i washed all my sheets and blankets. the next morning i still got more. the thing is that it didn't look like red bump...it started to like hives. and i went to the student health center (i dorm in college...las vegas) and they told me that i had dry skin thats why i have hives, but i put so much moistureizing lotion to keep my skin from drying out. usually the hives just appear in the morning and then by noon it disappears.
is it because of dry skin or am i allergic to something??

it is very difficult to tell whether you have allergies or you have eczema. it is better to consult a skin care expert. or you may try linking to this site for more help http://www.skinoriginal.com this will keep skin from drying out as well as keep the moisture within and this helps in preventing eczema flare ups.
