It seems like these bumps are itchy. This is likely a form of eczema, called dyshidrotic eczema, and it worsens at night as you rightly stated.It is a minor skin problem linked to improper skin care or over exposure to the sun.
It could be treated by using topical cortisone cream both in the mornings and evenings before going to bed.In addition, you might need to stay away form harsh chemicals such as soaps containing harsh substances, get milder ones.
And don't attempt to pop the bumps, it aggravates the itching and might result in scarring.
Take care..
