What are these little spots?

DD keeps getting these little red bumps that are very itchy. When she scratches them they go red around the outside and the bump becomes raised and whitish in the middle. They don't have heads they are just little bumps. She gets them in clusters. This morning she has 2 on her bum cheek and 3 in a line on her lower back. I put sudocrem on for now as she was going to school and was very very itchy. She never mentioned them again so hopefully they won't bother her today..

What on earth can they be? She often gets 5 or 6 all in one place on her leg..sometimes there are some on her ankle when she has had socks on! I thought they may be bites but how could they be when she had had socks on? They are often either in one patch or in a line and usually 5 or 6 of them.

I change her bedding every week, she wears clean PJ's each night and clean clothes each day..she has a bath every other night..she does get hot in bed and i always notice them in the morning so could they be heat related?? I said to DH i hope its not bed bugs!!! And DD overheard and keeps talking about bed bugs, im praying she doesn't say that to her teacher eeek Blush

Hey my ds has been getting similar. I put a thread on allergies. Are they like stinging nettle stings? Whitish bumps to start with? My ds been getting them since Saturday. They come and go but he usually wakes with them. Our go said she thought viral!
