What Causes Small Red Itchy Bumps On The Legs?

I have many raised red looking bites on the back of my legs. They are very itchy and seem to be multiplying. What could they be. I do not have pets and my wife sleeps in the same bed so i do not think its fleas or bedbugs. Any thoughts? Thanks, Steven
