Answer 2

woooow.

What a coincident that you post this question.. That stuff ALWAYS happens to me! I'd get like an urge to itch my leg and then it'd get kinda red with little bumps, like goose bumps that were even more irritating. Well, I'm staying tuned into this question I need an answer too.

Kudos to whoever knows the answer

Answer 3

Maybe hives?

Answer 4

well it could be contact dermatitis or Eczema. You could look these up to see if the symptoms match up. I have Eczema and that sounds about like what I have on my upper arms.

Answer 5

Your symptoms could be any number of things, but sound like hives.  

Hives occur when you are under duress, wear constricting clothing that irritates, are allergic to something, have been bit by an insect, etc.

Hives can be controlled by using benedryl capsules, which can be found at the dollar store or at any drug store.  Inexpensive benedryl (diphenhydramine) works as well as the name brands and should be taken as directed.  

As an old user of benedryl, I begin with 25mg, which normally is enough.  Do not overmedicate.

Hope this helps.  :)
