What are these it itchy red bumps?

Question

The other night when I was getting dressed for bed, I noticed what looked like a small mosquito bite on my thigh. I didn't think much about it, despite the fact that it was burning a little. I went to bed and when I woke up the next morning, both thighs, my stomach, my breasts, and upper arms all have these bumps on them. I haven't done much outside, so I know that it is not mosquito bites.

I had chicken pox twice as a child, pretty bad the second time, but this looks like chicken pox again. It may just be an allergic reaction, but it looks like chicken pox and I have had a low fever the past few days.

They are small, red, and some of them have a small dark spot in the middle. Does anyone know what this may be or how I can fix it without a trip to the doctor?

I have tried Benedryl, some prescription allergy medicine, calamine lotion, and oatmeal baths, but the itching will not stop. My mom said maybe chiggers, fleas, or poison ivy, but this doesn't look like any of that to me.

These are some pictures taken of my thighs. I thought maybe the picture would help.

Answer 1

Please go see a Dr. Don't touch them because it looks like it can spread if they pop open. I think I know what it is but I can't legaly tell you because I am not a Dr. but I am part of the medical field. See a Dr. if its what i think it has to do with you having the chicken pox and stress might big part of it as well. God Bless It couldbe worst the next time so do see a Dr.

Answer 2

It could be the chicken pox, but if you had them twice as a child pretty bad it really shouldn't be the chicken pox. Get into your doctor - just be sure that when you make your appointment you tell the receptionist that you are covered in itchy red bumps that look like chicken pox, this way they can keep you away from other people in the waiting room. Feel better.

Answer 3

They don't look like Fleas or Poison Ivy.

Looks like Chicken Pox to me. I had them twice as kid too. I hear they have shots for Chicken Pox now (not when I was a kid), but if you already have them I think you have to live through it.

Answer 4

I agree with your mother and believe it is insect-caused. Anyway go to a doctor on your region.
