Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You have symptoms of red bumps on the body which could be due to bed bug bites, contact dermatitis and it could be due to an allergic reaction of the body to allergens as well.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to :

- Maintain complete cleanliness of bed and terminate bugs.
- Don't itch or prick bumps.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Take oral antihistamine medications.
- Maintain complete hygiene and avoid sun exposure.

If symptoms keep on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined completely and start treatment. You should get allergy testing done if it is due to that.

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

Regards,
