I have red bumps on my skin and have no Idea what it could be.

I have gotten these red bumps on my skin for a while and they only come out like on my upper half of my arms and my stomach and thighs they're not really itchy. They are just everywhere not really itchy just randomly find new bumps on my skin. No one else has them but me in my house so I kind of ruled out bug bites.

Do you think they can be related to your hair follicles?  Keratosis Pilaris is something that makes little bumps on skin and is common especially on arms.  Some people call it chicken skin which is so charming.  I've had this.  It's very very common!  It's basically excess skin cells building up around hair follicles and its hereditary.  For me, what worked was a balm on the skin (aveeno eczema balm --  although I don't have eczema  OR aquaphor).  There is a scrub I get at the grocery store too that helps.  There are other treatments such as vitamin A creams, urea, etc.  

Not sure if that is what is going on but would venture a guess that this is what it sounds like.

Mine kind of look like mosquito bites
That does sound different than what I'm thinking of.  They don't itch though?  It might be time to see your doctor or a dermatologist .  Let us know what they say!!
