Hi Thanks for using XXXXXXX
Reddish itchy bumps suggests inflammation. This may be due to bacterial infection of hair follicle or gland or due to fungal infection. If the lesions are wide apart and in single then mostly suggest bacterial, and if in cluster and the area is spreading then it suggests fungal infection. Fungal infection will be very itchy and usually occurs in the area that sweats more.
If you can upload the photo, it will be better to diagnose the problem.
For now keep the area clean and dry, clean with betadine lotion and apply fucidic acid ointment for bacterial or clotrimazole ointment for fungal infection type and take anti inflammatory drug like Ibuprofen after your doctor's advice. You should not spread the infection by handling it (squeezing, touching and then touching other place). Use only sun dried cotton clothes and separate clean towel. These measures will help in treating your problem.
