Generalized pruritus with raised bumps suggests an allergic reaction. For allergic skin conditions, oral antihistamines or topical anti-allergic medications may be used; symptoms typically improve within a few days. However, generalized pruritus with bumps can also result from other dermatological conditions such as eczema or urticaria. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital for evaluation to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
