Question of STD or Just a Rash

I had a bump on my upper stomach that itched.  With in a week red bumps spread throughout my stomach.  A few on my neck and arms.  Most were not itchy and went away within 2-3 days, while some bumps only lasted a day.  They also spread to a little spot in my inner thighs, but one side went away within 24 hrs while the other side created 2 small whitehead like zits and are slowly going away.  Is there anyway that this could be an STD or just some sort of rash.  I have always had sensitive skin
FYI there are not bumps of rash on my genitals

this isn't std related.

should it reoccur, be seen promptly for proper exam.

I also did notice that the bumps spread and got worse when I was in a stuffy car for a long period of time

No I have not seen a doctor yet about it.  The bumps are gone now.  Maybe a few little ones on my back, but not much more than that.  But I do feel itchy from time to time in a lot of places of my body

this doesn't sound std related at all.

Sure it could be an STD but i could also be alot of over things including allergic reaction or you could have parasites in your bed or something,

It doesn't sound like herpes, unless your a wrestler or soemthing that get skin to skin contact with others who might have it,

go get tested a full std panel cost me 250 dollars but was worth it, but be advised if the infection is recent a swab test is the only way to tell, it can take up to 6 months for other tests to detect herpes
