Question : Hi, I have small itchy bumps all over myself. It started in between my fingers and neck. I just came from Pennsylvania so I thought it was poison ivy so I used medicine for that but it got worst. I then went to the pharmacy and was consulted to use ringworm medication as it is probably fungal. These bumps have now spread all over my face, on my lips, behind my ears, on my legs and in between all of my fingers. The original spots have peeled off.

Brief Answer:
Oral antihistamine and soothing lotion

Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
Could be a heat rash. I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion. In addition I suggest you take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for symptomatic relief from itching. Take care.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.
