Answer 3

Yeah, you should put lotion on it. I think you might have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), its best to see a psychologist. What it means to have OCD, is like washing your hand 5 times every hour or even checking the clock 20 times each day. If its not that serious, just see a dermatologist, they will give you medicine.

If the bumps get itchy, just put ice in a ziplock bag, and rub the ice over the area. When you take a bath, take 2 cups of oatmeal with warm milk or water then pour it in the bathtub to stop the itching. What I do is I get a hair dryer, turn it on and use it on the area, it will hurt for a moment though, just be patient. I have allergies by the way, that's why.

REMEMBER to visit a dermatologist.
