Small itchy red bumps on feet and lower leg
During school I noticed that my calf was itchy so when I came home from school one day and took off my socks cause my feet felt itchy too and noticed some small red bumps not mosquito bites. It's like a little bigger than a needle while the other ones I've been scratching are like a small pimple bigger than the ones I haven't scratched as much
Maybe ant bites or other insect bites. I would put rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and apply it to the bites. The sting helps with the itching and the alcohol starts drying up the poison. Try not to scratch - it only makes it worse.
