Scratching = itch
Allergy w/ you touching with nails, hands, clothing = itch.

~Jedi~ that the itch from that point = healing, and stay away from it for as long as you can. That's what I did, and it went away.

Looks like hives.

Edit: Also, if you haven't had systemic anaphylaxis by 20 min after the appearance of hives, the chances of you actually having a big reaction is fairly low (but not impossible). Benadryl works really well as an anti-histamine, and you can put some hydrocortisone on the itchy area if it bothers you a lot. Ice also helps to reduce swelling and inflammation.

Edit 2: I reread your post, and you say the inflammation only occurs after scratching. Does it itch, or are you just scratching it to see if the bumps go away?

Is it anywhere else? If not, maybe poison ivy? Retrace your steps. Shell fish did it to me once.

Scabies maybe :dunno:

It tends to start on the hands and travels from there. Topical lotion from the doctor or may be an over the counter med now.

One other thing it might be is eczema, but it usually more blotchy.

Did this start recently?
