Child Having Red Bumps On Skin, Severe Itching Leading To Bleeding. Relief With Benadryl. Diagnosed Bug Bites

hi my daughter is 3 yrs old. every since she has been a baby she gets these random red bumps on her skin ( legs arms ankles back stomach). they just appear out of nowhere. They itch her really bad to the point where she gets them bleeding. they look like mosquito bites but they are not. I have watched them appear right before my eyes. she hasnt been bitten by any kind of bug. when i give her benadryl they dont itch her any more. ive taken her to the doctor several times for it and they just say its bug bites. can you help me please

Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
The red bumps look like urticaria rash due to some allergy.
Try to find out the cause of allergy by noting down her foods, activity, and relation to any pet animals.
Benadryl is sufficient to treat the rash.
And you can apply a calamine containing lotion externally over rash for soothing effect on skin
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
