Hi,
The itchy bumps may be caused by a local skin infection or irritation and may not have to do with your Chemo. I will suggest you get an anti-itch cream like bethamethasone cream and an anti-histamine like loratadine and observe. If there is no improvement, you see the doctor for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
