Okay... so I get these darned itchy bumps too, but not on my neck or face. I get them on my stomach, hips, and just above the knee. My skin gets so itchy it drives me crazy! This just started happening about a year ago. I have tried using different lotions and different bath soaps, but nothing helps. I have tried lotions with aloe, vitamins, oatmeal, and nothing. I don't smoke and I haven't done anything to cause this change. I can't figure out if it's stress or what.

Mine look like little bug bites, but I scoured the house for fleas and washed everything thoroughly in case of mites or something crazy (unlikely because I am a very clean person). And they seem to show up in strangely symmetrical areas. Like the same exact locations on each hip and each knee.

If I manage to not scratch them, then they just sit there like a small itchy bug bite. But if I itch it, then they get larger in diameter and raise up a little more, and then afterwards they leave dark spots but eventually go away.

So I am wondering, has anyone found any particular lotion or ointment that prevents and treats these things? I asked my dermatologist, but surprisingly he was no help. He gave me some ointment but it's greasy and doesn't work well for prevention. It just ends up getting rubbed off on my clothes.
