Hi asymptomatic red bumps on the arm cannot be due to bed bugs.it can be either milaria rubra or polymorphic light eruption.i think it is only milaria as it is due to excessive sweating.only point against it is that it is only on one arm.apply calamine lotion over the bumps and vitamin c tablets to cure it.if no response apply calamine lotion in the morning and flutivate ointment in the night
