What Causes Red Itchy Bumps All Over The Body?

Q : I have been getting (about two weeks) red itchy bumps that look like a bug bit by the second or third day. I know they are not bug bites. Here is how they begin: I start feeling a tingling on my skin and then an itch. At that point there is no sign of anything just the tingle and itch. By the second day a small red bump apprears and gets larger, more itchy and the skin around it gets all red and sore. Like it is spreading as an infection might. The bump gets worse and larger and more itchy until by several days it has formed a scab (probably from me scratching it) and stays that way for a week or two. They started under my arms - at least 6 welts under each. Then the groin area and stomach and back then to the back of my legs. I just got two more today on the stomach. The welts seem to be getting smaller, but they still itch as much. Also, all the welts still itch and cause discomfort. What in the world is happening?? Am I allergic to something or do I have something bad inside that trying to get out. Please help
