ithchy red bumps all over my body

On 02/25/2007 I stated having red bumps all over mostly on my stomach and legs and back.  They look like i got bit by bug bites all over. Then it has spread all over my body but the ones on my stomach have just a little all over. They itch like crazy but they are not dry or flaky and they are not open or bloody. Most of them look exactly like bug bites.
Any ideas what I might have.

5 out of 6 of my family members have these relentless itchies too, Aveeno oatmeal baths & CUREL itch lotion, benedryl cream not working. my 2 year old wakes up crying every morning at 2 am. this has been going on for 3 months now. my husband & I have them on our thighs & our 11 year has them all over her tummy & hands. I have changed detergents and my pediatrician tried telling me my 2 month old had baby acne so i told him "I guess I do too". has anyone ever noticed line or string like itchies after scrathing the area?

I have about 14 little bug bite looking marks on my right thigh. They itch like crazy, I don't have any more, just up on my thigh, but I scratched them and now they are worse. I had bed bugs before and its not like that time coz I had those bites  all over me and I could feel the bugs biting me. Not this time. I don't have a clue where these came from though! I have been taking Doxycycline for two weeks now for a sinus infection. Could it be because of the antibiotics?

I have teeny tiny bumps on my thighs, the top of my back, my chest, and all over my arms.  If I put lotion on them my stomach gets itchy...  They're very very very small.  I had eczema last summer, and that was easy to spot, but this is very, very different.  My mom tries to pick them on my back (Because that's something she tends to do) and it hurts like all get out!  Then the other day I noticed that the ones on my chest popped and it HURT  there's a little bit of blood in the middle, but it's not bleeding.  They're not dry at all either, I'm so confused!

They actually don't look like bug bites at all...
