Little itchy red bumps on my feet and lower legs

  I have these very itchy red bumps that began on my feet (after I took my shoes off) and now it is just from my ankles up to my knees, but when I scratch them they seem to pop and a clear liquid comes out and then it becomes raw when before I thought they were bug bites, my boyfriend is perfectly fine and has nothing of the sort (maybe cause they are hairy?) New ones appear on my legs throughout the day, this has been happening for 2 weeks, please help me1

I have sort of the same issue. It started out on the tops of my feet then moved to my ankles then to my left knee now i have some on the bottoms of my feet and on my calves and even my thighs now. I've had this for over a month and its driving me completely insane. I dont know if it has anything to do w/ the fact that i'm 6 weeks pregnant or not. We have dogs one who itches like crazy but see no fleas and have had flea/ tick bath. My fiance doesnt have any issues. I thought maybe it was scabies ( I always think the worse lol). Dont believe it is that as I'm not bleeding or anything. Some spots where I've had the itching actually have turned in to dry patches. I have switched to Aveeno dry skin itch relief scent free body wash and lotion. Nothing is helping!

im a man & i dont shave my legs. mine started 6 months ago on my feet & spread in 2 weeks up to my knees. no where else. until recent i have a few spots on my forearms that look more like small patches of rash w/ a blister. i just thought they were flea bites but no one else has them. ive used steroidal creams. help stop some itching but i have to keep reapplying it daily which cant be good.  im stumped. i guess i need a dermatologist.

I have developed the same thing. I started a new job in a brand new building. I had on tennis shoes and jeans and when I went to get into the shower I had them on my feet and legs. I don't know what is causing it but I don't know how a bug could have got down into my shoe to bite me so I don't know what it is but other people in the building are having the same problem.

I have the same thing but mine started out on my thigh then to my lower leg them my feet. I have it on both legs and feet. Now it is moveing to my belly. It has been worrying me b/c my doctor doesn't even know what it is. Mine doesn't itch that much but they do burn when I take a bath. At first the doc said it was stasis dermatitis. But the meds she put me on didn't help. But I would like some help. They start off like blood spots and then into like bites.
