Because it is the small red bumps but I don’t have the symptoms. What do you think it is?

Sorry, I am not a doctor. And without a close look, nobody is going to be able to give you a definitive answer.

If you are in a high infection area and may have been exposed you should be cautious for further symptoms, especially if the bumps turn into pustules or begin to hurt, or you get additional symptoms. Monkey pox is still pretty rare in the USA, about 40,000 cases, or just about 12 people out of every 100,000.
