small, pink, itchy bumps on legs, stomach, and arms
three weeks ago, I noticed that I was getting small, pink, itchy bumps on my legs. Since then they have spread my arms and have began spreading to my stomach. At first I thought it was possibly from razor burn but as a become more careful I realize that it doesn't get any better. I put on good lotion occasionaly so it isnt a result from dry skin. I have a dog but she has is one of the cleanest you may ever find. Every day it gets worst. Sometimes it itches, but sometimes I dont even notice it. I have been doing research to figure out what the problem is. I have learned that it isnt chickenpox or hives. Any suggestions?
I wish I could answer this for you. I have a similar case. Started about three weeks ago. I noticed I have small red bumps on my upper legs. They itch like crazy. They have since spread to the underside of my scrotum, stomach, lower legs and a couple places here and there. I went to the doc a week ago and she had no idea what it was. I offered up the idea of scabies as the pictures were very similar to what I have. I did the scabie treatment and they have not gone away. This is really driving me crazy. As days go by I keep looking for anyone online that has been able to figure this out. I have found many people that are describing the same thing. I have noticed that it is almost always around a hair folicle. I hope someone can help!

I originally thought it was scabies. They appear as really small pink bumps and itch like crazy when I work out. I noticed them especially on my outer thigh, butt area coincidentally when I was only wearing shorts. After reading the previous reply, I am convinced the soap and laundry detergent are main contributors. I had just taken a shower, and my skin had felt dry before the intense itching. I use Gain - Original Fresh and Dial Bar Soap.

me and my girl freind have the same damn thing my doctor gave me scabies cure i used it it done nothing its geting worse i put up with it cuz im a guy. but we have same spots my doctor never did a skin test .. i have the same problem...
I've been itching like crazy for a while and have little pink/red spots - some of which are now small scabbed-over sores from all the scratching. I don't have fleas or bedbugs.
I think it could be the GAIN liquid detergent with fabric softener because the itchy bumps are only where my clothes touch my skin and all this started around the time I started using Gain liquid. Too bad I stocked up on it during a sale, but when I am out of it, I will switch to another brand. Purex liquid laundry detergent definitely made me itch.

I, too, am suffering from this. It feels like poison ivy but the bumps are much too small. It started on the back of my leg behind my right knee. Now it is all over the backs of my legs in patches and the lower part of my buttocks. I have started using new products and would like to compare to see if maybe these are common between us.
Gain laundry detergent (had a coupon)
Nivea snsitive shaving gel
Nivea touch of sparkle body wash
Softsoap nutri serums body wash
Since this is a new thread I am wondering if it is a new product introduced to the market causing this or a new condition that is contageous and spreading. I have no insurance and cannot afford a doctor visit just for them to tell me thy have no idea and to use something over the counter. Let's figure this out together.
