My Son Has Itchy Bumps Due To Mosquito Bite

My fifteen year old son has what appears to be mosquito bites on his elbows, knees, and fingers. He has at least 50 of these strange bumbs all over his body. This is considerably more compared to the 5 or so he had four days ago. He also complains that these bumbs itch. Can you please help me to understand what this is?
