I'm not sure if I have multiple things going on at once, or if it's one thing that has multiple things to it.
First off, this has been going on for about a month and a half or two months. It hasn't gotten any better. If anything, it's only gotten worse. I haven't gone to the doctor yet.
The bumps started on my upper thighs and looked similar to bug bites. They were red and itchy. They started to spread, and continued to itch. They're now on my legs, my stomach, my forearms/wrists, and the top of my hands.
I also have a different type of itchy bump - they're small and clear. They tend to be in clusters. They're on my toes, the top and sides of my feet, my ankles, my fingers, the top and side of my hands, and I have one on my palm. Some of them when squeezed will secrete clear liquid.
The bumps of both kind won't show up unless agitated. My skin will itch and when I scratch is when a majority of the bumps will appear. Some of the bumps are there at all times - others seemed to be summoned by the scratching.
I itch throughout the day, but towards the end of the day it intensifies. I've lost a lot of sleep recently because of how badly I itch I cannot sleep. On multiple occasions I have scratched these places raw because they itch so intensely.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on with my skin at the moment. Does anyone have any sort of idea?
