Probably not herpes: Herpes simplex (HSV) outbreaks typically are a cluster of blisters or sores (which can start as red bumps) very close to one another. Usually the whole involved area is no more than an inch in diameter. Conceivably herpes zoster (shingles), but probably not unless the bumps become blisters then sores with dark scabs over a few days. See a doctor if it continues or you remain concerned. Good luck.

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?
