Doctor Doesn't Know What Bumps Are!

I am a 27 yr old female. I have small bumps that are intermittently itchy and continue to show up. It started with a few bumps on my shoulder that I thought were acne but has spread down my arms and to my fingers. I also have some on my left ankle and the right side of my abdomen. I think I have some on my neck and ears now too. Went to doc in a box and he had no idea what it was. Didn't seem like scabies, poison ivy, or contact dermatitis to him. No rash just these bumps and they look like they might be pustules. My boyfriend doesn't have any signs of bumps or rashes.

I had this before, its an allergic reaction to a bug bite. I got bit once on my arm and it spread like wildfire with all these white looking bumps like that. Get some benedryl or like someone else said antiseptic cream and that will soothe the itch and slowly take it away

Looks like a bite from a small insect.  Or an allergy to something.

I presume as the doctor could not identify these spots, he gave you no medication.  If that is the case, apply an antiseptic cream, that you can purchase from the pharmacist.

They remind me of the bumps I got that turned out to be DH, which was related to my Celiac disease.  You might want to get tested for that.
