Hello and welcome to HCM,
Itchy, painful, red colored bumps on the hands could be due to some allergic reaction or some skin disease.
If there is history of insect bite or allergy to some external material like metal, clothes etc. there is possibility of allergic reaction.
On the other hand, a skin related lesion could also cause similar lesion.
It would be informative if you could post clinical picture of the lesion.
You could also consult a dermatologist for clinical examination of the lesion.
Treatment of the lesion can be planned after making a diagnosis.

Thanks and take care
