For the last few years I have been getting extremely itchy hive-like welts on or around previous injuries. For example, over the holidays I accidentally burned my arm in the oven. It healed fine, then recently I got the itchy bumps directly over the scar left behind by the burn. Also about a month ago I got a small scratch on my thumb knuckle and it healed, then 2weeks later I woke up with an itchy bump on the corner of the scratch scar. These bumps are extremely itchy and stay put for weeks. Once a bump lasted over 2 months! I work in an animal hospital so could it be some kind of bug caught there? What is this?! I don't use anything topical on my skin so its definately not a reaction to any chemicals. 2596
