Brief Answer:
Skin bumps may be related to Lisinopril!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these bumps and itches that you have reported flowing these medications. Angioedema(bumps) are recognized side effects of Lisinopril. This is probably the most likely cause of these itches. I will also like that you to send an image to me for more insights and confirmation. If the itches and bumps are mild, continue with the drugs. If they are too severe and you cannot tolerate it, then talk to your doctor to review the treatment and possibly change the medications.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
