Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Raised skin bumps are very common, and in most cases they’re harmless. They can result from a number of conditions, including: an infection, an allergic reaction, a skin disorder etc
Some advices that I can give to you are :
1)Use Anti-itch creams and lotions containing camphor, menthol, phenol, pramoxine (Caladryl, Tronolane), diphenhydramine (Benadryl), or benzocaine to bring relief.
2)Use corticosteroid cream
3)Avoid scratching when possible to prevent worsening of the condition and disruption of the skin that could lead to bacterial infection.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
