Hi there .
These bumps are probably burn blisters caused by the shock episode.
You need to consult a plastic surgeon immediately for this.
Kindly start taking some antibiotics like Cefuroxime so that the blisters do not get secondarily infected.
Also take an anti histamine like Allegra to get rid of the itch.
I hope my advice has helped.
Good luck
