Flesh Colored Bumps Around Ankles Spreading To Upper Parts, Get Itchy At Night, Look Like Ingrown Hair. Remedy?

Hi I have had flesh colored bumps on my ankles which spread To my calves and then my upper thigh and now onto my forearms and tricep area. They are super itchy and they become more and more itchy at night. They almost look like ingrown hairs but I am seriously miserable! I have had a heat rash before but it s not the same symptoms. Thank you!
