Lately my skin itch when i'm nervous or stressed and i tend to scratch myself .?

There are raised lumps along the scratches on my skin. They look like mosquito bites. Sometimes even when Im not scratching these mosquito bites appear on my knuckles when im under stressed or feeling nervous . I never had such a thing before. This have been happening since this January. What could be wrong?

u might be having reactions with ur sweat that cause the bumps go see a doctor though
Reply:possibly hives maybe? im not a dr. and i dont know for sure. but some people can get allergic reactions when they are nervous- i do. your dr. can definitely help you better than yahoo answers. just my opinion. good luck.
Reply:could be a histamine response to stress ?
Reply:relax and moisturize!!!
Reply:Sounds like you are getting hives. I get them to, for the same reasons. When I get stressed, nervous, to hot, or am to physically active I get them. Zyrtec seems to help mine rahter well. Any antihistimine should help the symptoms. Even if this happens frequently, and all you do is itch and get red bumps, be careful and if your throat or tongue start to well, seek emergency attention. Hives are an allergic reaction and can cause more serious problems though very rare if you are getting them without other conditions from the begining.
Reply:Sounds just like hives. And the above answer is wonderful. You need to block the histamine before it is released after the hives are there the histamine is already released and you can't get rid of it with anything. The only thing you can do is block further histamine from being released and let your bodty flush the already present stuff (drink lots of water to help do this) I take Benadryll every 4 hours when I breakout. It does tend to knock me out though, but hey it works. The zantac is great to take daily, or at least when you start to feel nervous it doesn't make you sleepy and it blocks histamine too. They are both ok to take together.
