Itchy arm bumps

I have itchy red bumps that have appeared this year on my arms. Don't know if it has anything to do with my Hep C or not, but I went to 2 dermatologists and they said...oh, whats that? I also have a dog and cats!?

If you can offer more inforamtion it would be helpful.

Do you have Hepatitis C. Are you on treatment. If you are on treatment, which drugs are you taking. If on treatment, where are you in the treatment time frame. How long have you had the skin condition. Did it start before treatment or come after starting treatment.How much of your body does it cover. Any other info will also help.

Also, this is an old thread so you might want to start a new thread for this topic/problem. Go towards the top of the page and click on the orange rectangle (Post a Question). Then you can post a question in a new thread and probably get better and more answers.

Like others here i have sensitive skin , i also developed a bad rash on several body parts , that itches and acts like a bad heat rash . I have controlled it with cool water calgon baths , gold bond cream, cold creams  , and once a week to 10 days a steriod cream . I also use a Heath Food product Bovine Colostrum 20 % for Psorisis , that i have used for years , but doubled up the dose to 1 Tablespoon twice daily . And have now about 90 % controlled the rash , but still have some itching .  sail

I had alot of skin problems durring my treatement. At one point I had hives, and I am not allergic to anything?? The Doc gave me some cortisone pills that I took just for a few days and the hives went away. Although through out my treatement my skin has become very sensitif. You need to drink alot of water and cream your skin when its wet, as soon as you get out of the bath/shower.
