Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
From what you have described, it seems you had insect bites. Take a tablet of cetrizine. It will bring relief from itching. Change your bed sheets as bed is the most common place where insects bite.
However, it might also be fungal infection for which you'll need to take an antifungal tablet and local application of antifungal cream.
Hope this information helps.
Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar
