What are these small, red, itchy bumps on my skin?

I've looked all over online and can't find any useful information.

It started out with my back itching really badly one day. Eventually the itchiness spread to the front around my chest and belly area. It looks like a patch of small red goosebumps that itch. Also have just realized that there is a small spot on the underside of my arm that is a tiny red and it hurts to the touch. Could it be an allergic reaction? Doesn't look like hives, much..

Please don't give me any wise-*** remarks.. I don't have health insurance. :/

Answer:
Could be a different soap you used…flea bits…something you ate that you’re allergic to…medication ..it could be anything. Have someone rub Calamine lotion on your back you do the rest..if that doesn't work see a dermatologist. Try taking some benadril for the itch Wash with soap that has Oatmeal in it.

That's all I have for you.

Answer:
Could be any of the following, and most likely is zits, boils, rash, or measles, mumps, try to put lotion on it, you could be allergic, but well, you should take a hot bath, maybe put some baby power on it, try to think what you did differently. Try to think if you did spray or put something on your skin and then change it, could even be laundry detergent, experiment with changing things and trying to figure it out, could be greasy Foods, try to drink water and eat healthier, could also be stress

Answer:
Yes, I'm guessing it's a rash caused by some kind of allergic reaction but would highly suggest you see a physician if it persists.

Another thing that could cause these bumps are ingrown hair if they're showing up in places you shave. Sounds more like a rash though.

Answer:
Sounds like you have egzima which is probably being triggered by stress, and hormones try to relax yourself and they will go away.
