Weird bumps on my skin

Hi everyone, this is a bit bizarre, and please excuse the length of the post. Over the last few weeks I've noticed the odd red, itchy bump come up on parts of my body - usually an arm or a leg. They are very itchy, and hot to the touch, and I've assumed that they were some sort of insect bite, with it having been during the summer months. They last for a few days to a week, before fading.

Yesterday evening, I took my boyfriend's dog for a walk to a local area at the edge of an estuary, with grass/trees, etc, surrounding. It was raining and I was wearing a waterproof coat, but my legs from my knees down did get very wet from the rain. I was wearing leggings with tights underneath. Just as we were going back to the car, I noticed that my lower legs were very itchy. I put this down to the fact that they were so wet and that it was a bit cold. However, when getting ready for bed last night, I noticed that I have several of these itchy, red, hot bumps on my legs - five or six on one, and two on the other. Some are smaller than others. I thought that something during our walk had had a proper good munch on me, but on inspection, I can't see any puncture holes.

I'm wondering if it's Lupus hives and if anyone else has had this sort of thing? Could it have been caused by the rain or simply by being so wet?

Thanks for reading. Tee. 🙂

Ah, sorry to hear this. I did have a load of blistery spots on my scalp at Easter time, which at first I thought was chickenpox. Turned out to be gnat bites! 🙄 x
