Hello,

It sounds like contact dermatitis or hives. Irritant dermatitis, the most common type of contact dermatitis, involves inflammation resulting from contact with acids, alkaline materials such as soaps and detergents, cosmetics, or other chemicals.
Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes.

Avoid using any lotions and creams over the skin for the meantime. Wash your body with a mild soap with moisturizing properties likeDove. Pat your skin dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and see if this improves.If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.Also take some over the counter antihistaminic like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or zyrtec or Claritin(non sedative).

If the bumps persist then pls get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
