    Itchy red raised bumpy skin
    I'm experiencing some severe itching on my left hand, back of neck on right side, left inner elbow, back of both thighs. These are bumps of some kind that start very small like a small mosquito bite and slowly begans to itch. As the itch intensifies, the area swells and gets wider in circumference. This has happened about 4 times now. Its like I'll have a flare up about once every week or so. I'll rub the itchy area with alcohol, and then apply benadryl, hydrocortisone creams, etc (any type of itch relief cream that I may have. I also had some left over pills (sulfameth/trimethoprim)that I took once when a flare up broke out and it relieved my symptoms overnight. Please help. I know I need to go to the doctor, however, they'll probably just give me some anti-itch cream and send me on my way as they did before. I have a huge deductible and just cannot afford to go to the doctor right now, plus probably purchase some type of medicine. Please help. . Please respond asap. I need some urgent help
