Red bumps

About a week ago I had started to get these strange bumps on my arms, they looked like small bug bites but they didn't itch. Then yesterday I took off my shirt and saw that these same type of dots are on my chest. There not filled with any puss and they don't itch, and today, i noticed the same bumps on my upper thighs and groin, along with my back. I have no idea what is happening, and I havent changed anything in my diet, I haven't gone anywhere and things haven't changed at all from before this was happening.as far as I know I'm not allergic to anything but I have psoriasis if that helps. I'm 16 and I don't know whats happening, my mom thought it could be a heat rash but I don't know

I have chronic bad breath and I don't know why but nothing I do changes the fumes that come out of my mouth..I eat right, brush my teeth and floss but I do have some old tarter on the bottom of my teeth that won't come off but the smell is so horrific that gum or mouthwash only cuts the smell for about an minute only and back to the dragon....HELP

Hello,
These red dots can be due to contact dermatitis, allergic reaction, heat rash, viral infections or herpes zoster/shingles rash. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing. You should choose mild soaps without dyes or perfumes and use a mild, unscented laundry detergent when washing clothes, towels and bedding.

Please take a second opinion from a dermatologist if the symptoms persist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope t
