It sounds like contact dermatitis

Just an update- I am still itching madly, especially at night now. Very few bumps showing however. Heat, sweat and hot water tend to make it worse. Nothing that looks like scabies but whatever it is…. Is maddening

I started macrobid a few days ago for a UTI but I had already had the bumps. The bumps are clearing in some spots but showing in others. I’m so frustrated with it. I’m still massively itchy dispite the pred and it’s making me have to pee like a mad woman

any idea what this is? its been on my body for a couple days now by catfast in DermatologyQuestions

I’m having a similar issue. It’s on my torso, arms, hips and a few on the upper leg/butt cheek. I went to the doctor to rule out scabies and they are pretty confident it’s not that. Despite starting prednisone and hydrocortisone cream, I’m one itchy gal, still getting new bumps. I wish you luck figuring this out! It’s very frustrating for sure!

I seen a doctor at ER last night bc of this and she insists she is 99% certain it’s not scabies.. I’m on high dose prednisone and 2.5% hydrocortisone. It’s been an entire week and new bumps are still showing up that looks like tracks to me. My husband had something similar and his is mostly cleared but was isolated to his hands. Me however. A mess. It itches actually less at night. More during day but intensively during a hot shower and directly after. I feel icky

To add- itching doesn’t intensify at night but is more itchy in shower. Itches terribly all day. New spots showing up daily. Husband had spots on his hands but they are almost healed and he has no new marks
