I've got these itchy, red bumps that keep appearing all over, NOT fluid filled, not hives, not bites. Ideas?

Question

I've already had chicken pox not once, not twice, but possibly 3 times! It just doesn't look like pox, because they are not fluid filled. They can't be bug bites, and they don't seem to be hives or shingles. They're small like flea bites, but I've been developing them for at least 4 days, and have been traveling for the last 2 days, so I've ruled out bedbugs or fleas or the like. They've even started developing on the bottom of my feet and the palms of my hands!!! SO uncomfortable and itchy (though not particularly painful, just annoying). What could it possibly be?

Update:

It's tiny little bumps, doesn't look like exzema, but thanks for the response. It also most assuredly not acne, as it is showing up in places not prone to acne, such as my arms, legs, palms, etc. Again, thanks for the input!

Could be a form of excema or an allergic reaction to detergent or fabric softeners. Try using a mild soap instead of detergent and cut your fabric softener sheets into 4 strips. That way they will do what they're meant to do, (reduce static electricity) and not affect your skin. I was the same as you about 24 years ago and I made these 2 changes and it worked. I also occassionally use Cortisone cream (1%). But go to a doctor, after all it's not rocket science that anyone would suggest that you do. And do change detergent. Try using less as well. Something like half the amount. It's nothing but harsh chemicals anyway.
