The last two weeks these itchless mostquito like bumps have been popping up on my skin. What do i do

Posted , 2 users are following.

About 3 weeks ago, I moved into my new apartment (stressful) and also had just started my sophomore year of college. I bought some bed sheets and thought it would be a good idea just to plop them right on my bed and not wash them. About a few days after I noticed 2 red mosquito bite-like bumps on my arm. 2 days later I had a cluster of skin tone bumps on the back of my knee that didn't itch until I, of course, noticed them and freaked out. Those bumps were gone in about 24 hours. Then the days after I'd notice maybe 2 or 3 new bumps. I had another outbreak when I was sitting on the floor putting an IKEA desk together knowing I had an essay due at midnight. I was wearing very loose fitting shorts and all over my buttcheeks were those mosquito like bumps again and they were skin colored. The next day they were almost completely gone. I went to my doctor and they prescribed me a strong antihistamine and told me to take Zyrtec. I sound semi-ridiculous, large hypochondriac but its always nice to hear what other people have to say.

    Sounds like you had a stressful time, but I am glad you are doing better now. I hope this is just a temporary rash and will not turn into something that's chronic.

      I currently only have 3 splotch like bumps. Hoping this is the end of it. Think I should be worried?

      I thank maybe its the stress of the move or something you came into contact with in your new apartment. I would keep an eye on it and would see a doctor if it does not go away in a few weeks. But, don't worry about it because that might make it worse.
