skin itching
i'm not sure if i'm allergic to anything.. but while i was working at my job, in a restaurant, my arm started itching out of nowhere... i don't do anything that deals with food, i didn't eat anything either. i'm a hostess, and i was just waiting for customers to come in. i scratched my arm, and little bumps came up. like how you have goose bumps? it came out like that, it kind of started itching, so i started scratching. and now it's red... my parents tried putting on different kinds of medicine, but none of them seems to be working. it's really worrying me, how my skin is always itching all the sudden when it used to not be like that. what's happening? please help me!

It sounds like an allergic reaction to something. Have you been wearing any type of new clothing or fabric? That's always a leading suspect. Have you started wearing gloves especially latex ones lately?
I figured you might in a restaurant if asked to clean things as well as be a hostess. This could also be caused by wearing a new perfume, using scented soap and changing your shampoo even if the rash shows up elsewhere.
What should you do? First, stop applying creams, ointments or medicine to it. Truth be told that may only make things worse. Instead of that go to a clinic or emergency room and tell them about this. They'll figure out what to do and what it is. It's important to go while the rash is still there. They need to see what it looks like.
Also, get an allergy test done at the same time as it's very helpful at pinpointing what causes it and what else may affect you if you don't take precautions.

I would make an appointment with your doctor, because if your usual remedies aren't working, it could be something more. I can't think as to what it could be except for a really bad rash of some kind.
But seriously, get it checked out by a professional before doing anything else.
I hope this helped,
