    i had a couple of those on my arms and i put my lupus cream on them, it's called clobetasol propionate cream. i hope this helps you. by the way you did give me my laugh for the day when you said that about the cellulite. i'm not laughing at you, i'm laughing with you.

    take care

    I had those bumps all over my thighs during the holidays and you are right.... they are VERY itchy... It took a week or two to clear up.... That has happened one other time. Not sure of what causes them or how to prevent them... sorry,,,

    Have a good weekend!

    i get the prescription from my dermo or my gp, it costs about $30 and it really helps with discoid lupus and with those itchy bumps.

    have a great weekend

    Do you think they could be hives? Or are they distinct lumps under the skin?
    Sounds awful! Hope you find something soon that helps relieve the itch.
    Are you taking any sort of antihistamine?

    No, actually these lumps are not follicles. They are like knots or small cysts under the skin. I also have been having muscle pain and swollen glands in the same area as the muscle pain.

    I get very itchy bumps on my back. So itchy at times, just have to scratch and scratch. It comes and then goes. I have no idea what it is. I thought perhaps it was a side effect from one of the drugs.
