I've been experiencing this weird thing at night where my skin gets really itchy, and then these skin-colored boils pop up. The odd thing is, they usually vanish by the next morning. At first, this was only happening on a small area of my leg, but now its like, all over my legs and even my arms. Should I be worried about this spreading further, and is there something specific I should do?
