I keep getting these itchy white bumps all over my body that look like mosquito bumps every day. Sometimes they start on my upper thighs then spread to my lower legs,back ,shoulders,arms,breasts, scalp,neck,chest,buttocks, everywhere. Then after I scratch like crazy sometimes it just stops after awhile. Please help me stop the itcking. It's been this way for months.

 Hi!
Have you consulted your doctor? Antihistamines like Zyrtec help some with the itching.

I've just started getting the same thing. I'm thinking hard about seeing a derm. Let me know if anyone's gotten anything conclusive on this yet. It's so strange. It almost seems viral!?

I have the same thing off and on, i think it's hives, which are just one of those things that will go away as fast as they started. I use witch hazel for the itch and take a benadryl. Rarely do they know why people get hives *unless* you ate something you are allergic to or are using a new soap or lotion? Otherwise you may just get em for no good reason! I'm an itching machine too! :P

I have the exact same thing, I think. Theres these white spots on my skin which puffs up a little. Some are a big blotch some are a size of a misquito bite, the biggest I got is about a size of a quarter. They come and go, they usually go away after a bath with hot water, baking soda, and some germ killing soap, but they DO come back. That is just a temporary solution for the itch and bumps, I do this about 3 to 4 times a day.

same problem here... i went to see doctor a few times, one doctor just give me cream a apply but it won't stop this problem. Then i visit another doctor, he only tells me to avoid wear metal or rubber material at those area eg.waist, which i did not. but he only says that its skin allergy on the material i wear. :-\ he gives me cream to apply but the problem is still not solved. my back and waist has the same problem, i will use rough sponge and body foam to scrub the itchy area with warm water, but its only a temperary solution. however it can't be done when outside. :(

Hi,
I also got the white, itchy bumps and I think they are Hives. I bought[color=red] Benadryl[/color], (the allergy medicine)took it and it stoped. Unfortunately it didn't go away. When I don't take it, it comes back. But hey, if this is going to get me through the night in peace then it's all good.

yeah, mines was hives, it looks gross :P
I went to my doctor and she gave me a prescription.
The M\edicine is called
HYDROXYZ PAM 25MG CAP (EON )
Generic For: VISTARIL 25MG CAP PFIZ
aND all i gotta do is take 1 every six hours only for itching, i took it once or twice, and BOOM its all gone, now i only use it if it comes back somehow, works great,
DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION, REMEMBER I AM NOT A DOCTOR AND HAVE NO AUTHORITIES TO TELL YOU WHICH MEDICINE TO TAKE. I JUST SUGGEST YOU A MEDICINE THAT HAVE WORKED FOR ME.

I've had itchy mosquito-like bites on my face appearing (and now my chest and sometimes back of arms) for YEARS and I've told so many doctors and they basically don't listen to me - they keep prescribing benzl perozide as if it's acne. Certainly, after I've scratched a bit, (and even when I havent) it might look at first glance like acne, and yes I have large pores around the nose, but these are not acne spots - they feel like some kind of allergic reaction to something. However, I have never worked out any pattern at all. I never get them when I am abroad, but don't know why. It cant be stress because I have often been stressed abroad, working. It's seriously irritating me that I have done loads of research on the internet and nothing seems to fit the bill. Hives? The spots only appear one at a time - they start off small then suddenly become huge, white and hard itchy lumps. The only thing to stop them itching is tiger balm. They go down in minutes. But it's very strong and I doubt you're supposed to put it on your face. As for my arms, I have diagnosed that condition as keratosis pilaris, but this is not what comes up on my face and chest.
I hate this, I cant keep on like this.
Any ideas?
