Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The itchy bumps are commonly related to an allergic dermatitis.

A photo would be very helpful through the diagnosis.

Meanwhile, I recommend using antihistamines daily such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily in the evening for a week.

I also recommend using hydrocortisone cream for local application.

For the acid reflux you may use antacids such as Maalox three times a day.

I also suggest to drink a lot of liquids.

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