Does Red Bumps On Back And Arms Indicate ITP Or Viral Infection?

I have recently been diagnosed with ITP. I have red bumps all over my back and arms. It is not petechia which is flat and dark. These look like welts or bug bites and they are raised but do not itch. Is this related to ITP or is it a possible sign of a viral infection?
