Hello,

Most likely small red itchy bumps are due to contact with some allergen. Low-sedating anti-histamine such as cetirizine or levocetirizine generally are used first in an allergic reaction. If possible, you can upload a close-up of the skin lesions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Tushar Kanti Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
