Red Itchy Spots EVERYWHERE

[Unregistered]

For the past two weeks I have been overwhelmed with red spots in various places on my body. The spots look like insect bites, but the person I sleep with and no one else in my household has the irritation. From my eyelid to my ankle, they are everywhere, and driving me insane with the itch. The most intriguing factor is the spot's appearance on my body, it never remains in the same place for more than a few days. I cannot afford to see a doctor, and would appreciate an idea from a fellowreader.

It might be Chickenpox.

Sounds like hives to me (clinical term urticaria).

It could be scabies

I agree that it might be hives. I had the same problem and had no clue what was going on. It lasted for months and I started to get swollen fingers, eyelids and lips. Finally I was told that I have Chronic Urticaria and Angioedema. If it last longer see an allergist.

If they are more so in creviced areas like between your fingers, behind your knees, in areas where the skin touches/folds then it most likely is scabies. Most of the time you can tell it's scabies because if you look VERY closely there are little tiny barely visible black dots. Might look like a piece of dirt. These are the scabies mites. Although, if you have them and the person you're sleeping with doesn't then I highly doubt it is scabies as they spread rapidy and are contageous.

If it was scabies, trust me, the person she sleeps with would have it too. It could Shingles--the tip off being the eyelid..or fungus...maybe flea bites, but others would have them, too. Check in to your health food store for some good rash antidotes with homeopathy.

It's been already 4 weeaks i have these itchy spots which are seriously driving me crazy especially during night time. Each red spot either kind of calms after few days, or fills with water getting smaller. The doctor said it could be chickenpox, and simply gave me bennedryl. I have spots on my arms, shoulders, legs, and sometimes on my face. I was already sick with chickenpox when i was about 8 years old, and now it's repeating. Don't know how much else i need to wait till this passes. Help, please if you can recommend something or know what really is going on with me.

You really need to go to a dermatologist. General MDs are completley worthless when it comes to skin problems. Have you heard of pityriasis rosea? Look it up. I had that a couple of years ago. It drove me nuts! I went to several general MDs. Was diagnosed with everything from chicken pox to scabies. Until I finally went to a dermatologist. He took one look at me & new exactly what was wrong.
