Red bumps huh? Are the bumps filled with white puss or clear liquid? It could be chicken pox or poinson Ivy/Oak/sumac. Go here: http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/tc/rash-age-12-and-older-check-your-symptoms and take their quick ”check your symptoms” quiz. or search on allergic rash. Here is info on poison ivy/sumac http://www.webmd.com/allergies/tc/poison-ivy-oak-or-sumac-what-happens

If it is a series of small red bumps it sounds like contact dermatitis i.e. you came in contact with a substance you are allergic to (just like you were thinkging). Do you have a fever at all? You might want to call your Dr. to have an allergy test performed or have a look at it. Try putting some aloe vera gel or calamine lotion on it. If it itches really bad, try some Benadryl. Before you do though, be sure to wash the area first with a mild soap in case any of the irritant is still on the surface of the skin. Have you been in contact with any fiber glass? Can I ask where you were on vacation? Say if you were hiking in the woods or anything where there is poison ivy, oak or sumac…It very well could be the hay though especially if it is dusty.
