Itchy Bumps On Leg And Stomach, Spread To Wife Also. Treatment?

Started with Itchy bumps that looks like mosquito bites on my leg. I put cortisone cream on them and went to bed. Next morning they where gone from my leg but on my stomach. Now my wife has noticed it popping up on her. We both keep treating with cortisone cream on effected areas. the bumps seems to last over night but show up on different parts of the body. Help please!
