Mysterious Red Bumps on Legs

Mysterious Red Bumps on Legs

So two weeks ago I realized a small itch on my legs. Needless to say one small fluid filled bumb turned into many of them. I think its fleas. But I don't have a pet and I haven't been around animals. But this is killing me. I sratch and a bump releases its liquid , then more bumps appear. It's aweful. And its just on my legs and feet. Which is why I thought fleas... Help. PLEASE!

Cody, having pets my entire life, we've gone through periods where they've caught fleas from neighboring animals, and it's a pain to get rid of them. However, you can't spread flea bites by "popping" them, they're like ant bites. You'll only have a bump where one of them has bitten you, and if you pop it thats it, you popped it. If you have any other symptoms like fever, sore throat, extreme fatigue, etc, go see a doctor. I had this problem July last year and it was Scarlet fever! Otherwise go to your local pharmacy and ask a pharmacist about it. They should be able to recommend something OTC for you.
