Bites On Body, Arms, Stomach, Legs. The Spot Is Swollen, Red. What Could This Be?

I have a series of what appear to be 'bites' on my body. There are on my arms, stomach and legs. They appear to look like a simple pimple with a bit of a white head occasionally (appears to be an oil of some sort) with a large red circle (about the size of a bottle cap) surrounding it. The circle is all red and then the spot itself is swollen raised and a darker red. What could this be?
