Fabric or irritant: She is having something that is irritating and inflaming her skin. Could be fabrics and detergent, or grass and pollen if she's been outside. Cool compresses, vaseline, and baking soda/ aveeno (oatmeal) baths are very soothing. Hydrocortisone cream can help with the itching also. If it doesn't resolve discuss it with your doctor.

Keep nails short: Keeping her nails short can help prevent the scratches, but that doesn't take care of what's causing her red bumps. Those could be insect bites, or hives, or molluscum contagiosum, or viral infection, etc.
