Itchy wrists and ankles

For the last month or so I've had itching on my wrists, forearms and ankles that comes and goes. It's worse in the evening but I don't know if that's just because I'm relaxed. Sometimes there's no bumps or rash, just itching and other times I noticed small almost insect bite like bumps but there's only ever three or four and they fade when not itchy.

I haven't changed my diet, soaps, detergents or anything like that. I thought that perhaps it's been the change in weather or stress or even early perimenopause (I'm 36) but now I'm not so sure. Should I be seeing the GP and asking for a blood test?

Try antihistamine tablets and see if that helps first

Do you have pets? My first thought was flea bites.

I do have a dog but she has zero fleas. I'm sure of that.
