What condition/allergy could cause itchy patches of skin on my shins?

Q: These patches have a lot of bumps that aren’t quite big enough to be hives (nor do they itch all the time) but the rashes naturally get redder and the bumps swell a little when I scratch. I’ve had the little bumps since spring, but the itching has recently started. Any ideas?

A: psoriasis

Is it possible to have contact allergies (itchy skin) from one cat and not another?

Q: I recently got a new cat from the Humane Society and a few days later I was itchy all over my body but no redness or rash. I have another cat and this has never happened before. I can’t think of anything else that has changed that would cause itching. Any help?

A: Yes it is totally possible. In general I don’t really have allergies from cats as I own three. But every once in a while I meet a cat that causes me to have a horrible allergic reaction. I do not know why it’s only certain cats but yes it for sure possible.

can traveling to different countries cause skin allergy?

Q: this summer i went to China for the first time (i live in the US). in Shanghai i was fine, but once i went to Beijing my arms & legs broke out with HUGE patches of red itchy skin. it’s been 4-5 days and no improvement. i didn’t eat anything out of the ordinary or take meds. should i be worried about this?

A: I can see that you are worried. I think you should see a dermatologist for that because it could be an allergic reaction. For the mean time don’t scratch it. If it’s itchy, just clean it with mild soap and tap water then put calamine lotion. And I think you should recall the things you did in China, the food you ate and the people you have in contact.
