What are these itchy spots all over my body (photo)?

[TattiePants]

Early last week I started to get a few itchy spots on my body. Assumed it was a heat rash and it would go. Ten days on and I have 100+ over my body, legs and a few on my arm. The only place I don’t have them is on my hands, feet and head and there are new ones everyday. They are driving me mad, keeping me awake at night and I can stop inching them. I definitely haven’t used anything new, eaten anything different, no medication etc. I started taking an antihistamine on Monday but nothing’s happened yet and will try to get to a pharmacy later to see what they suggest. Anyone have a clue?

Do you feel unwell? Do the spots look like little blisters? Chicken pox, maybe?

GP appointment.

I would assume, due to the distribution, that it's probably a contact allergy. Probably something new in your detergent. However, definitely visit the GP as it's best to be safe.

Molluscum contagium?

Molluscum contagiosm? My DD has it atm the moment and it looks similar. Tea Tree Oil on them is helping.

Or allergy. Are you using anything different on your skin/in your washing?

I’ll google that as never heard of it. I feel fine and they don’t look like blisters so don’t think it’s chicken pox. Definitely no new washing powder.

Have you tried simply moisturising? I get them, usually go away when I use plenty of moisturiser for a while, also relieves the itching.

I had this last week a few days into the nasty virus that’s going round, I developed a hacking cough the next day and the spots gradually went over the week. I put it down to a viral rash.

Folliculitis? Just a guess.

Looks like mollescum

I hope is not for your sake they are buggers to get rid of.

Could just be a virus tho. Strange that it's itchy
