Are Red Itchy Bumps On Chest, Stomach, Legs And Bottom Due To Allergy?

My 10 year-old daughter has red itchy bumps with white center all over her body especially the chest belly legs and bottom. They are itchy. Could this be an allergic reaction? She swims twice a week in a community pool and we also recently changed our laundry detergent.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Allergic reaction usually cause flat red itchy lesion known as wheals and urticaria. Raised bump like lesion I would consider the possibility of Scabies.
As with any skin problem, diagnosis require good clinical examination.

Take care

Best Regards
