My husband has raised red bumps, mostly on his back. A dr. took a biopsy, said it came back as a \"bug bite\". They continue to crop up. Checked for bed bugs, fleas, etc. by did not find any. Besides no one else has these bumps. Some are the size of a pencil eraser, while others are the sign of a thumb finger nail. This has been ongoing for five months and his Internal medicine doctor and the dermatologist cannot seem to give him an answer or relief. Topical creme, Clobetasol Propionate only gives relief for about 5 hrs. We have thought it could possibly be some sort of skin parasite from eating sushi. Any suggestions?
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion it should be allergy reaction. As per your description of allergy is more likely explanation of the condition. I suggest you to find out the possible ballet gen causing this reaction to skin. Biopsy report is also pointing towards this condition. I advise you to apply clobetasol cream. As this can cause atrophy of the skin bumps resulting in clear skin. Please do not use this cream for long time as it can cause skin thinking for long term use. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you.
