There is tons of small bumps all over that haven't turned red
Brief Answer:
Regarding red patches and bumps on skin
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Perhaps those small bumps are due to excessively dry skin/ xerosis. I suggest you to use a moisturizer daily e.g Aquaphor/ petrolatum and the red patches that I see could also possibly be Hives instead of insect bites.
take care
