Hello,
Spread itchy bumps that are itchier at night may be due to scabies infection. It is important to have a check with your doctor to confirm or rule out scabies and if scabies is diagnosed then you and your family need to be treated at the same time.
I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Kind regards,
