A lot of the time when I itch my skin it peels off anyone know what’s the cause?

Basically, in the last year or so about three times a month I will just reach out and normally itch my leg or my arm and then the top layer of skin will peel away and leave behind a pale, wet area. And then, after drying they go a blister like yellow, almost like an infected wound. I get them commenly and then if I itch them after a while of waiting for it to heal it scars. Also, it’s very common for me to get bite marks? Like I’ll wake up with about 3 new ones every week. I’ve also come to be curious as a large amount of tiny, little red spots have appeared mainly on my arms and legs, scattered around. I’m not sure what’s wrong, but I’m 14 so that expected.

With all these things going on at once, it's time to mention this to your parents and have them take you to the doctor to have it checked into.  It's pretty much impossible to tell you exactly what the cause is from an online post- a doctors care is important to seek so they can get more of your medical history and do an exam in person.  Let us know how you are!
