Itchy Skin and Red Bumps: What Your Body May Be Warning You About
Have you ever noticed red, raised bumps suddenly appearing on your skin after experiencing itching? While this reaction might seem harmless, it could actually be your body sending an important warning signal.
What Are These Bumps?
The bumps in the image resemble hives (urticaria)—a common skin reaction characterized by itchy, raised welts that can vary in size and shape. They often appear suddenly and may disappear within a few hours or days.
Possible Causes
Hives can be triggered by a wide range of factors, including:
-
Allergic reactions – food, medications, insect stings, or pollen.
-
Environmental triggers – cold, heat, sunlight, or water.
-
Stress and infections – sometimes the immune system reacts due to viral or bacterial infections.
-
Unknown reasons – in many cases, the exact cause may never be identified.
