I'm 35 and have just developed some skin
problems. They seem to be hives, but i'm
not sure. More often than not, when I
scratch an area, I notice a lot of bumps
appear. There's also redness, it's very
warm and itchy, and the bumps tend to move
from place to place depending on if I can
manage to leave that area alone, but end
up scratching another.
Sometimes it's very severe and a real
obstacle for work, sleep, and everyday
things in general. I haven't been in
contact with anything i'm allergic to and
have had hives before, but it wasn't
long-lived and they went away without
drugs. Nothing in my lifestyle has
changed, other than there is more stress
in my life which I know can be a cause.
Problem is, the stress isn't going to go
away anytime soon, but I need a good home
remedy I can use reliably, preferably
without drugs and drowsiness as I have no
health insurance and can't afford to keep
going to the doctor. I have an active
lifestyle with children and don't want to
miss out on anything!
Please help me!

hi, i'm 22 and i'm experiencing kinda the
same thing. I have these red itchy bumps
on my inner thigh, around the armpit area,
the chest and on my hips. I went to the
doc, and she said that it's definately not
scabbies. She said it could be part of
the exzema familiy. But i'm not so sure.
She did give me this cream, but i'm not so
sure that it's not working. Also, I have
a lot of bruising on my left uper thigh
where the bumps are. I guess i'm just
gonna have to go back to the clinic, but I
have no insurance. Maybe somebody out
there know's what this rash is.
