Hey girls I have a problem. I started to get these little tiny bumps on my body that look like zits about three months ago. They are just like little ingrown hairs that never/ever go away. If you have those bumps on the backs of your arms like 99% of people, this is what they are like.
Well, they don't hurt/itch or anything. They are just there. Like on my arms and legs.
Okay, well now, right above my right knee I have little tiny bumps that I got about a month ago. Well, two weeks ago it started to itch really, really freakin bad! The bumps are actually going away, but that part of my skin is so itchy. But when I scratch it, it kinda hurts. Now it is moving to my right arm and the bottom of my right leg.
What in the world is it? Does it sound like eczema or something like that?

Weird I dunno! I know those painless bumps on the back of your arm are supposed to be when your skin is too dry back there. You can make them go away by using lotion everyday. But I don't know about itchy ones! You didnt' get into poison ivy or anything like that did you?

I'm itchy too, but its supposed to be a symptom of pregnancy. I don't have bumps or anything.

I don't know either! It is freakin weird!
Everytime I have gotten into poison ivy (or at least I think) I get like on blister, it is crazy itchy, but it never spreads, thank god. But like this is so weird. It is almost just like swollen pores. Kind of like, I dunno. That me scratching has caused the bumps? It is just so itchy I cannot stand it.
Mom says, "maybe you have scabies" gross. If someone gave me freakin bugs I am kickin arse!
I just don't know. I don't know what eczema is like either. Maybe I am just allergic to something, but it is weird that it is in that one spot of my leg.Lol. This stinks!

Active User, very eHealthy

I was doing a nursing rotation at some clinic and this girl came in with those and the doc told her it could be caused by stress??? I wouldnt have thought that, but maybe so. I would get some exfoliating body wash and some good lotion!
