eChipmunks

Why has the itching been going on for almost 3 months?! Help me!!?

I started with a few red bumps on my wrists and arms and stomach. Then including the previous areas; my lower stomach and inner thighs. Then after that still including previous areas; my thighs, sides of waist, chest and even parts of my back have these itchy bumps. I'm even starting to notice recently that i itch even where there's not a bump. like on my shins and ankles. my leg bled from scratching and there were no visible bumps. The bumps are almost not even obvious unless they've been scratched when they turn white and the skin is bright red and perfect tracks of my fingernails. I thought it was bed bugs but Orkin pest control said it wasn't, thought it was scabies, doctor said no. she put me on benydril but that's not helping. i had a sore throat and have been on an antibiotic for the past two weeks, Amoxicilin, and that isn't doing anything to the bumps either. The itching is persistent throughout the day but mostly unbearable at night. I drive myself crazy scratching and it feels awfully destructive and I don't want to keep doing this to myself. I'd like some sort of idea when i go back to the doctor about what this could be cause the doctors here are shitty and my co pays are too much to just keep going back when something doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

1. You should see a dermatologist. It may be an allergic reaction if you have started taking any new medication, eating some food you never used to?
2. I had eczema as a child...thats what it sounds like to me. I grew out of it. it was little white bumps and when i itched them they turned red....i didnt ever bleed though... however one time I saw a little boy at a baseball game and he looked like he had been recovering from chicken pox....so i said to his mom...aw getting over chicken pox?... she said no he has very severe eczema. Also may be an allergic reaction to sheets/clothes/jewelry ...etc...good luck...
