Brief Answer:
Could be scabies

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Thank you

This could be scabies. Scabies presents with itchy bumps at various body sites e.g finger webs, abdomen, upper thighs, erms, chest and buttocks etc. Itching in scabies is especially worse at night.
I would suggest you to take a tablet of ivermectol 12mg, single dose, today.
In addition you may also take a tablet of cetrizine 10mg once daily in evening for 10 days.
Topically you may use momate - f cream, twice daily.
Are there other affected family members or close contacts?

Regards
