Getting Huge Red Welts On Different Places, Itchy. What Could Be This?

I have been getting huge red welts on different places. I ve had about 6 over 4 months. This current is the size of a softball and no bite marks. Other welts previously had small bute marks. It itches a lot. I have NEVER seen any spiders or bugs tho. Our bed is on the floor. However, my boyfriend never gets these welts. What could this be and what should I do?

Probably you are suffering from urticaria.

It is characterised by red raised itchy rashes on body.

But sometimes large welt like lesions can appear
