Suggest Cure For Little Red Bumps On My Arm

So, I have these little red bumps on my arm and such that itch and my friend who was over on Saturday her dog has fleas. So the problem really started happening tonight, I also have a dog (who sleeps with me every night.) My question is: Wouldn't I have felt this the night she was over and not 3 days later? Or am i just Psyching myself out because I was thinking about it. Could it be something else?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It may be lichen urticaria. It is the hypersensitivity to insects bite.

Keep yourself away from dog, as dog flea may be responsible.

Antihistamines, steroid in tapering dose, local steroid cream, etc. may be considered.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
