    Question Allergic reaction or hormones?

    In the last 2 weeks i have noticed i have these bumps all over the back on my neck, goes all the way behind my ears and the top of my forehead..

    They are also all over my chest and between my cleavage.

    Theyre not sore but are a bit itchy..

    I asked DP to look at the ones on my neck as they are bigger than the rest and he said he can't see anything can feel them..

    What are they???

    They could be one of many things, I would suggest maybe pupps but that usually presents in itchy bite bumps and also is accompanied by a welting red rash and is ridiculosly itchy! But it doesn't sound like it, it could be hormonal mini pimples - I had then all under my chin like really close together and a bit irratating they did not pop or anything. Maybe If it really gets irritating go to either a naturopath or a dermatologist?? Good luck! Xx

    Could it be because it's getting colder and the air is dry? I've got really sensitive skin and I find I get similar rashes in winter.

    I've never gotten these before.

    They seem to be alot bigger on the back of my neck..

    I might ask my doctor next time i see him. I'm really all that worried just a bit puzzling as to what they are.

    Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy, not usually harmful, just annoying.

    Do you use soap? I was advised away from soap (not that we use it anyway) and oatmeal baths helped.
