3yo noticed a few bumps on back of hand. Later progressed to a significant number,eventually spreading to wrist covering most of the hand. The other hand had pimple-like bumps between the fingers, which have progressed to larger in size and spreading. Patches of same bumps noted on buttocks, now spread to a small patch. Bumps are beginning to appear in small clusters over lower back and upper right shoulder. Child has not been eating much; usually has a hearty appetitie. No evidence of oral sores nor are there any sores on or around feet. Initial visit to pediatrician was futile, without a probable cause or diagnosis. Prescribed a hydrocortisone cream which did not/has not helped. Any clue? There is no redness on the skin, just what appears to be smoothed over bumps that are beginning to spread. Have been remodeling a bathroom where cutting of particle board may have exposed area to certain dust. Does this sound like some type of allergic response or something else? No fever and no itching.

Could be scabies?

I don't know if that would help? I'm not a doctor but that's what it sounds like.
