Constant itching and boils

2018-03-03 00:54:13
My body has been itching for a week and then I started realizing that everytime I scratch a spot, boils come out that look like mosquito bites but I don't live anywhere near mosquitos. So I thought it might be food allergies but I don't remember eating anything I have allergies to. Everytime I scartch myself, these boils come out and after a few hours they disappear, and then when I scratch myself again they appear again. Can it be hives or any other thing?

This sounds like urticaria / hives.  This could be triggered by several reasons commonest being an underlying infection.  See a qualified dermatologist near you or send in the photos and details of lesion on follow up chat.  Warm regards Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Bengaluru.
