First check to make: Sure you don't have bed bugs. Even clean people get them. It is possible that you may be having an allergic reaction to something. Please see your doc so he/she can help. Peace and good health.

I'm waking up with random itchy red bumps on areas of my body. Sometimes my stomach, sometimes my legs or arms, I had one on my face the other morning. Sometimes they're very small and sometimes larger and more irritating. Not bed bugs, I checked?
