Before anyone says it...
No, they aren't burrowed in your skin. The nail polish isn't smothering anything so dont bother. The red bumps are just a reaction in the skin from the bites.

Yep. Call your doctor. They can call you in a Zpac. For now, Benadryl.

Also, since the itching is due to your body releasing histamine as part of the immune system response, soaking the bites in hot water will help to bring some relief. The body produces only so much histamine at a time, so the heat will force more histamine to be released. It will make you go cross-eyed 
but you'll get a few hours relief until the body can build up more. Then you just soak it again.
