Ichy Skin??

I have these itchy spots on my arms and legs. Most of them are just red bumps, and few (2) are actual blister bubbles. They are mostly around my ankle and few (3) are up near my knee, and there are four on my arm. I have done some research online regarding possible scabies or other causes. However I cannot find a sure answer since mine are spread out, and they are only on my right side such as my right ankle and right arm. I have none on my fingers or my palms or my feet. They are extremely itchy, and they only showed up two days ago after I was painting my sidings on my roof. Is it possible that I'm allergic to my roof. Or that something up there could have bitten me?

Ichy Skin??
I actually got the same thing on my elbows and knees after I painted my renovation house. I went to the doctor and he said it was a reaction to the paint and it dried out and irritated the already dry parts of my skin and caused irritation. It's not scabies, those are around waist and wrists and ankles. I got some cortisone ten cream with moisturizers and it was gone in a week. Good Luck!
Reply:Take an antihistamine and see your doctor.





In the meantime, dont pick at them and try not to scratch them. If the itch gets to be too much, use an Oatmeal bath like Aveeno.
Reply:could be psoriasis. go to a dermatologist,


they can help.
Reply:It could also be you came in contact with some fiberglass if you have shingles on your roof ?
