Itchy Spots On Legs, Bug Bites. Used Hydrocortisone And Neosporin. Suggest Further?

I have been having itchy spots on my legs that has since moved to my arms and back. I originally thought they were bug bites, but now am not sure. They itch like crazy then scab and when the scab falls off there is a pit left in my skin. This has been going on for a couple months and I am just unsure of what it is. I have used hydrocortisone , calimine lotion and now I am using neosporene. Any suggestions?
