Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain you have a problem of a raised bump area on each breast that looks like a cluster of holes with itchy breast and the raised bump a little larger than my thumb nail seems probably be due to any insect or bug bite causing allergic reaction that is causing itching and swollen lump..

Yes, it could be very much bug bites and you can take anti-histamines like Benadryl or Levocetrizine for reducing swelling as well as itching..
You can apply a steroid ointmet to reduce inflammation..
Do cool compresses over it..
Application of calamine lotion can also be relieving..
It will resolve hopefully in a week but in case if it worsen consult a General Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
