For the past 2 days i have had a patch of little red bumps that itch. i don't think they are hives. was in the woods yesterday. should i worry??

Itchy bumps: Itchy bumps/rash could be due to many different things. If you were in the woods, I would think of bug bites or poison ivy. try hydrocortisone cream to help with itch, as well as an oral antihistamine like benadryl (diphenhydramine) or zyrtec, but watch out because benadryl (diphenhydramine) can make you sleepy. if still not going away in a few days, consult with a physician in person or here on Healthtap
