The body is covered with small bumps, likely papular urticaria. Papular urticaria is a relatively common allergic skin disorder, primarily triggered by insect bites and exposure to allergens. Patients should promptly visit the dermatology department of a hospital for evaluation and treatment under a physician’s guidance. Management may include antihistamines, corticosteroids, and antibiotics to control symptoms.
