In March early April, I noticed an itchy bump on my ankle. I thought it was a pimple. After a few days it started to spread. Small red bumps the size of goose bumps but red and itchy. On the inside below my ankle bone and on both feet. I went to the doctor she gave me some cream but it didnt work and started spreading up my leg. I went back and she is sending me to a dermatologist but I have to wait 2 months. Its getting worse. The area where it started , the lote bumps, are huge and purple. Then in other areas the are small like when I first got them. The bumps on my legs and ankle itch bad. The ones on my arms, back, wrist, and even on my bottom dont itch. The purple ankle bumps are clustered. Then as they go up my leg its just spotty large bumps that make the surrounding area sore. I hope you can help me with this. Thank You.
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. There are numerous conditions that produce itchy lesions on the skin of legs, arms, trunk etc. So a detailed clinical examination is necessary to arrive at a probable diagnosis. The commonest causes are Eczema, hives, psoriasis rose, actinic keratitis or Chat Doctor. In the meantime before you visit a dermatologist, use an antihistamine preparation orally and a smoothening lotion applied over the lesions to keep them moist and they won't itch. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
