My skin is so dry and itchy and I get blister looking bumps with white heads but they are not pimples and it's all over my body, what is it? I sometimes scratch until it bleeds and then it's a open wound. what is it and what do I do to get relief?

This sounds like what I get on my hands.I have contact dermatitis.It is very painful,and takes quite a while to heal.I never had a problem till after I had a baby 3 years ago,now I am allergic to anything that contains citric acid.If I cut tomatoes,onions lemons ,or oranges I will break out within minutes.I can only use ivory soap to wash dishes,and to bathe because most other soaps contain citric acid.If I use cleaning products,I wear gloves to protect my hands.The rash has small white pimples,and burns like hot peppers.

From your description, it sounds like Folliculitis or Pustular Dermatitis. You should consult a dermatologist a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I have the same thing. I must have about 30+ different little bumps all over my body (not congregated in one area btw). They are small like a very tiny whitehead pimple, but I know it's not pimples. They can get quite itchy. I scratch some until they open too, and even then they still are itchy.

I haven't moved, used any new soap, shampoo, laundary detergent, or taken any medication. I guess it could be food, but this has been ongoing for almost two weeks now.

If this continues for the next few days, I'm going to have to see my doctor or something.

I checked out those two conditions. I don't believe the original author or myself have what you're suggesting. The descriptions of those two conditions doesn't match entirely.

same thing happening and not sure what it is?

thanks

Could be molluscum contagiosum. Molluscum contagiosum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molluscum_contagiosum)

mine went away in a week, i don't htink it was the molluscum contagiosum
bases on its description and where it appears in adults

i really think i know what it was, i am a health nut, i mill my own wheat
for all bread products, don't eat any refined sugar, no soda,
no meat except fish and eggs, no fruti juices, all organic foods.
anyhow, i had a sandwhich one day and I was craving chips with it so I ate a bunch
or Lays potato chips, family size cheapo ones, prob filed with trans fat
and other crap, I immediatly broke out. it was so strange, anyhow
I should have never fallen off the wagon and ate that garbage, shame on
me.
