Acne and Skin Disorders Answer

According to the data you reported, you might be experiencing allergy. However, it is hard to say what the exact cause of the bumps is without seeing them.

You might want to try some over-the-counter antihistamine drugs. Avoiding intake of high allergen foods is recommended, too. It might several days up to week for the bumps to disappear. If they do not or you experience more serious symptoms like swelling of the lips or difficulty breathing, then you should seek medical help. Patch or blood allergen tests might determine the exact allergen you are allergic to.
