What might these itchy bumps be?

I occasionally get these colourless, skin masses that appear mostly on my face, stomach, and arms. They itch and look much like the reaction you get from a TB skin test (most of the time they are slightly smaller though). They don't occur too frequently nor are there many of them when they do occur. I haven't found anything on them yet and was wondering if anyone might know what this could be.

If they continue and you can't seem to find something that causes them try to see your doctor (probably better while the bumps are thereor if you can snap a picture). You can also check out www.webmd.com
Reply:they could be "sun bumps", its your skins reaction to being in the sun to long. If they do not hurt. or change colors from clear/ white and they go away then it is a sun bump and nothing to worry about.
Reply:Last time my daughter got something like that, the doctor treated her for chiggers.
