Tiny Itchy Red Bumps On Legs, Arms, Neck, Throat, Face And Around Lower Waist. Solution ?

My son has tiny red bumps on legs, arms, neck, throat, face & around the lower waist. They appear in ones, groups of two or three or fours. They itch a lot. They appear on new places right before our eyes. We had been to they poconos mountains on the weekend. He had been in the wood trails. New ones keep on popping up. Can't stop itching.
Applied hydrocortisone cream & gave him allergy relief medicine. Helps only temporarily.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

It seems that your son may be having either irritant contact dermatitis or papular urticaria.

There may be some irritant or some insect , as a culprit agent.

Give him oral anti histaminic and steroids in tappering dose.

Application of mild steroid cream would be helpful.

Tell him to avoid soap bath.

I think he will be alright.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
