Red bumps in a straight line

Tallulahsmom

During bath time tonight I noticed red bumps on my dd back. The are in a perfect l shape. Then I notice a few on her upper back and a couple on her chest. Only one was raised. The rest are flat circular red marks. At first I thought it was just an impression from something she had leaned on. But they were still there an hour later. I put neosporin on them to see if it help. She hasn't been scratching and when I asked if they hurt she said no. Any thoughts?

Allergy to something? Any new foods, soap, detergent?

I can't think of anything new. And we didn't go outside yesterday because of storms. I did an online search and it doesn't look like anything I found. This one has me stumped.

Bed bugs?

Bed bugs?

This is also what came to my mind.

I'd guess scabies which is a road I'm familiar with. I tried to find a good picture by googling but all I found was extremes. This is from Wikipedia though: "The burrow tracks are often linear, to the point that a neat "line" of four or more closely placed and equally developed mosquito-like "bites" is almost diagnostic of the disease"

When I saw the bed bug posts I immediately pictured all furniture and beds in a pile on fire in my backyard! YIKES!

 That said I have investigated and found no signs of bed bugs. (I will certainly keep looking.) And the red spots do not seem to itch. She seems not to even know they are there. I did notice a few more today though. In random places. So burning her mattress is not entirely out of the question. I guess I will continue to monitor the situation and call our pediatrician if the continue to show up or don't improve. Thanks for you input.
