Red slightly bumped mosquito like bites?

Hi, I'd like to ask if anyone knows what is wrong with my leg? I'm having this bumps something like an insect or mosquito bite and it's itching like hell! I noticed I had it since last week. I thought it was mosquitoes at first, since it started itching when there were actually mosquitoes buzzing around me. So I just scratch lightly on it to reduce the itchiness. So last night when I was sleeping, it was itching like mad, so being the natural thing to do, I scratched on it. And my shock when I saw it in the morning. And it seems to be spreading :/ I'm a bit concern about this since it makes my leg looks ugly and the itchiness is driving me nuts. I do put on some cream to relieve the itchiness.

Anyone have any idea of what might it be? Is it an allergic reaction or bed bugs or something? :/

Looks like bedbugs(Cimicosis).

The bedbug tends to attack the leg nearest, possibly you were sleeping on that side. The breakfast-lunch-dinner sign is evident on the linear rash.

is it possible to have bed bugs bites on only that one leg? Because I don't have it anywhere else...
