Red, Itchy, Hard And Blotchy Bumps On Body. History Of Being In Ocean. Possible Sea Lice?

I have red itchy bumps on my neck, chest, torso (front and back), and legs. They are hard and blotchy. Imagine what it would look like if someone were bit by 1 million mosquitos. There are a couple that look like they have a white head but not the majority of them. They aren't painful just itchy. I have no other symptoms just irritable from being so freaking itchy! I was in the ocean on Friday and by the end of the day Sat I was covered. Could this be sea lice, even with its prolonged reaction?

Hi

It seems that you have sensitivity to sea water. It may also be allergic reaction.
In both cases I will advise you to take anti-allergics.
