Hi i do care for your concern.
your history suggest of unknown insect bite.
However white headed bump around arm may be due to infection.
I would advise
To consult your physician to know whether it is insect bite mark of infected bump.
Regarding itching taking medicine such as cetrizine twice a day will relieve you of symptoms, in case of infection antibiotics may be needed.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
