Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
As per your description, this itchy bumps are most likely a boil or cellulitis or cystic acne but visual inspection of the lesion will confirm the diagnosis.
Mostly this kind of itchy bumps are due to bacterial infection like staphylococci or streptococci.
She should do some blood works,ESR to rule out any infection.
She must take antibiotics (cephalosporins preferably like droxyl 500) with analgesics and anti-inflammatory to get rid off that.
After treatment these bumps might burst out leading to pus drainage or blood drainage.You wash them with savlon and water.
Only 3 days course of antibiotics Would be sufficient.
Consult surgeon for further advise.
Regards,
