My dog has sudden skin bumps. What can I try at home for allergies?

Question

My dog suddenly developed these weird bumps. They don’t seem to bother her, but they are noticeable. I don’t know if maybe it’s an allergy or what. She had been taking apoquel but after our recent moved she hasn’t been scratching like she had been. I know she will probably need to see a vet, I just relocated, didn’t have a job but I just got one. I won’t get paid for 2 weeks. Is there anything I can try at home that may help? Oh she’s 9 yo and a pit mix. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 43 lbs

This looks like an allergic reaction. You can try some Benadryl (https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/). However, if this does not resolve the issue then , you will need to take Ellie to the vet as this could be a skin infection that needs a prescription medication.
