I have had similar problems.  I started with one bump.  The doctor thought it was ringworm.  We tried everything.  I could not sit still in her office for the itching and nothing they gave me helped much.  My doctor called a dermotologist she knew and got me an appointment.  The did do a biopsy on one of the bumps on my wrist and it was positive for "Lichen Planus," which can be caused by several things.  They decided mine was cause by stress and every time I get stressed I get them again.  Anyway that one spot went from my feet to my neck before they finally diagnosed it.  The doctor prescribed a cream called "triamcinolon" and a session of prednisone (steroid).  I had it so bad that I used several jars of the cream and more than one session of the prednisone but it worked.  Now when I have a break out it's usually only on my arms and doesn't itch so much but also on my ankles which itch until you can scream and can't sleep at night.  Thank God the cream helps and if doesn't cure it then I call the doctor and take another round of prednisone...sometimes takes two rounds of prednisone but I was never more thankful than to God and that doctor when I finally got on the right track.  Sometimes they even look like little bruises or bug bites.  Look up Lichen Planus on the internet and you will see pictures etc.  I sure hope this helps you.  God bless you all!  Mine was horrible and I hate for anyone to ever have to go through that.  I did order some of the things they recommended but don't waste your money just find a good dermotologist!  I am a firm believer of alternative/natural medicine but nothing worked except what the dermotologist prescribed.
