What are these itchy bumps on my hands and arms?
Post Body

Hey guys, in the past week or so I have been dealing with these bumps showing up on my arms and hands that are extremely itchy and I can't figure out what they are and if they're a big problem.

My boyfriend and I were both getting a bit itchy and we hadn't washed our bedsheets in a while so I did that but that didn't help me at all. My boyfriend thinks the laundry detergent might be it for him since he's just itchy where his clothes are closest to his body, but he's just itchy with no bumps.

There are some very small black house ants of some kind in one small section of the house we are controlling, so I'm not sure if that could be it but even so I live with four people and I'm the only one getting these bumps. Maybe it's a reaction to something, I'm not sure.

The bumps have popped up maybe a few per day, every day there's at least one new one. They get incredibly itchy and I'll instinctively aggressively scratch which is why many of them have become open wounds in the photos. Some bumps are still there which is why I'm posting photos, as well as just in case the positioning of them in clusters or anything will help. I also have three or so bigger non-itchy bumps near my waistband that look somewhat similar to mosquito bites so I don't know if they're related.

Thanks for any help or advice anyone is able to provide, this has been very frustrating and embarrassing going to work or school with red bumps and bandaids on my hands and arms, and since it hasn't gone away and only gotten worse I'm worried it could be something bad.

Thanks again!
