How To Get Rid Of Cluster Of Small Red Dots On My Wrist?

Hi. I have a cluster of 5 very small red dots on my wrist. They are slightly raised and do not itch at all. They are shiny, sort of the same way a poison ivy rash would be shiny. The cluster makes a zig zag triangle. Could they be bed bug bites or is it possible they could be something else.

Hi

You seem to have developed an insect bite reaction .
Such a reaction can present with development of red itchy linear lesions over the exposed areas of the body and the lesions tend to develop suddenly overnight .
It needs to be treated by application of topical steroid cream like cortisone over the affected areas twice daily.
