Itchy goosebumps??

For the past few days...I'd say 4-5 at the most, I've been getting these little goosebumps on my skin. You know how your skin gets goosebumps when you're cold? That's how they look. They are not red or anything like that. Just looks like my normal skin except with tiny bumps. Anyway, they itch to the high heavens!!! Really really bad! They are pretty much on my legs and arms and on the back of my hands. No where else. I found 3 fleas in the house so far while trying to clean everything out (there are 2 wild cats hanging outside our house) but when I looked up flea bites on the internet..they don't match what I have. Any ideas on what they may be?

Itchy goosebumps??
Could be anything. See a dermatologist.
Reply:YOU HAVE WINTER ITCH IT'S A COMMON THING . BUY GOLD BOND WINTER ITCH CREME !
Reply:exzema, might be shingles too, I would get it looked at...
Reply:It sounds like an allergic reaction. I doubt it's shingles...they usually appear around the waist or neck and are red and extremely painful. I doubt it's one of the 3 fleas you found. (Not to make light of your pain, but I would love to have watched you look for those) :o) It could just be dry heat due to the winter need. Have you used a new lotion lately? Ask the pharmacist if they can recommend a lotion that will help.
