What Causes Red Bumps On Skin?

My 1 yr old son has been getting these mequito bite looking bumps on his skin. They appear to itch, are raised up, and red all around them. They eventually scab up and go away but then 2 or 3 more appear. They seem to have been everywhere from mainly is stomache to legs, arms and neck. They are about the size of a pencil ereaser or larger.
