What Causes Itchy Swollen Bumps All Over Body?

Okay, so for about 3 months now, I get around 4-7 itchy, swollen bumps in different places on my body per week. They stay for about 3-4 days, then disappear. There is no bite places on the bumps. No pus comes out. The diameter of the bumps ranges from an inch to two. I normally get them on my legs or arms. I have cleaned for bed bugs in mine and my boyfriend s house. My family doctor didn t know what they were. She just prescribed me some steroid cream. They go away within 2-3 days using the cream as directed. They are very irritating and I would appreciate some kind of explanation to what they might be, coming from an expert in the field of skin. Please and thank you for your time!

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from allergic contact dermatitis.
It is an allergic reaction of skin to a particular product to which you came in contact with.
Please apply a steroid cream like fluticasone.
Also take an antihistamine tablet.
This will give you relief.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
