Rash with peeling palms

Hey all,

Hope everything is well. I have these bumps all over my arms and legs as well as peeling palms. They are itchy. I went to the ER and they told me bug bites but I checked my bed, clothes and room for bed bugs (along with droplets of blood, droppings, and shells) and I have seen nothing. I also have washed everything. The rash seems to be spreading on my hands. I'm at my wits end. I have pictures but do not know how to post them if that helps.

Have you followed up with a regular doctor?  It's possible the ER gave you an inaccurate guess as to what the cause was- but it's also possible you do have bugs.  I'd get an exterminator and have them check out your place, also head to a regular doctor and let them know what the ER said and that you found no evidence of bugs- to see if they have some other ideas on a possible cause.
