I was at camp for an entire week and I just got back. I woke up yesterday to find that I had itchy, red bumps on my legs! It’s not poison ivy or anything like that, because the bumps are too far apart. I’m pretty sure it’s a mixture of mosquito and chigger bites. At camp we sat on the grass a lot and sometimes I didn’t put on bug repellent, which I guess explains the multitude of bumps on my legs.

The point is that my birthday is coming up, and I’m going to a water park with my friends! I don’t want to have these pimply-looking specks coating my body when I’m in a swimsuit.

I know I’m not supposed to scratch, but it’s too late. I’ve scratched the heck out of them. What can I do to make the redness and bumps go away, or even just diminish, in a few days???

I really need help, so any advice is good! Thanks!
