Small itchy red bumps on body?!
Question: I'm hoping some mom out there will have the answer for me!
Anyway, I have these small red itchy bumps on the back/sides of my legs, sides of torso, on back, right under armpits, and around my nipples (sorry if it's TMI). The ones that rub up against my clothing the most (nipples, legs, armpits) itch the most. I had the chicken pox twice as a kid. The only thing I can think of is that I changed laundry detergents and I went into my parents hot tub. They also have dogs and I have been living with cats for the past eight months. It couldn't be fleas because nobody else is experiencing these symptons. Any ideas? Thank you!

An allergic reaction to something...most likely hives. You can take an antihistimine to relieve some of the itching but it will make you sleepy. hydrocortizone or calamine lotion can be applied topically to also relieve the itching. Provided the irritant is no longer present the hives should go away in a day or two.
could it just be exma? (excuse my spelling)
Try switching laundry detergent...I had the same problem and this worked for me.
i was gonna say chicken pox but i guess not if you already got is twice?
i thought you could only get it once
Fleas only go for certain people. Your skin and blood must smell nice to them. Get the house fumagated asap!
