    itchy red bumps
    I know none of you are doctors but i cant seem to find any info on this so i thought id ask to see if anyone else has experienced this. for some time now, it seems i get these random itchy red bumps. id like to think it's an allergic reaction but they seem to appear out of nowhere. like ill be at work or in my room not eating for some time and then out of nowhere i find myself being itchy on my arm somewhere and it's one of these bumps. the closest i came with was ringworm but i saw those pics and they're nasty looking and mine dont look anything like that. if i leave them alone without scratching they seem to go away after a while. it's a raised bump in a perfect circle and gets red around the area.i have attached pics so you can see what they look like. i only get these 1 at a time never in groups. if you look closely you can see the circle raised shape.

    i looked that up and it does sound like a possibility, but again the symptoms are nasty looking and says they can last hours or a day while mine last no more than an hour usually. like since i posted this thread the bump has since then disappeared.

    Didnt you just go to a concert? Maybe you got something from there? Rubbed up against someone or something?

    never thought of that. i would like to think so but that was almost a week ago and ive been getting these random bumps for quite some time now, maybe a couple of years or so.

    Maybe go to the doctor while you have one on your body?

    Sounds like an allergic reaction, like a really mild one though. What do you do for work? I know some people are allergic to the wood bedding used for snakes so are you allergic to aspen, pine, cypress etc. ?
    Also does just one bump appear at a time or do you get a few?

    Im not a doctor by any means, but just trying to think of what i have seen/heard of before...
