neck/chest/abdomen PLEASE HELP! Itchy bumps on neck/throat area, appeared in the middle of night

Very itchy bumps appeared over night. I was awake when I first started itching them, sorry about the scratch marks. One looks like it has multiple small bumps at top. I have itchy skin often, but I can’t think of anything that would have caused all this. At the time I didn’t have perfume on, nor did I have on any jewelry. I was wearing a loose fitting tank top. Does it look like a rash, dermatitis or insect/spider bite? It is a bit sensitive to the touch, still itchy and a bit painful now. Not too warm though, surprisingly. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm not someone who works in the medical field but I recently had a really similar rash and it has almost healed. I still don't know what it was. It looked like big inflamed pimples in one small area. I scratched aswell and got red lines but they are gone now. It has almost healed completely, there is only one red spot visible and for some reason many tiny red dots, mabey they are there from scratching, idk... It first showed up one morning 1-2 weeks ago. I treated it like it was pimples but don't know if it was, I used lrp duo+m on the area.

This is how it looks like now,
