Tiny 1-2mm itchy red bumps have spread across my entire body since this morning and I would love to know if there is anything I can do to treat this. I haven't introduced anything new and been working from home all day, so can't pinpoint the source of this reaction. I've never experienced anything like this before. I have had bug bites on my ankles that are about 2 weeks old and were going away, but today have hardened and have clear puss. Not sure if it's correlated. Thanks Allergic reaction?
