Hi..

Can either be bug bites or allergic reaction..
It can be due to allergic reaction to a number of causes like any foods or medicines, any skin cosmetics, detergents, soaps etc..

I would therefore suggest you to consult an Emergency room or an Allergist and get evaluated.

A clinical examination and if needed a blood test can be done to confirm the diagnosis..

For now to reduce itching you can take anti-allergic medicine like Levocetrizine or Benadryl and can apply Betamethasone ointment over the itchy bumps..
Do cool compresses for relief..

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

Regards,
