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

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 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!

It is BUGS, some type of bug, maybe chiggers, fleas, or bed bugs, they are bug bites though.

Mine started last summer and they looked like a big mosquito bite. They itch like a mo fo and spread! They kind of ooze a clear fluid and the itching is crazy! Went to a dermatologist and of course by the time I got in they were gone and she said it was dry skin! Waste of a $50.00 co-pay for sure! My daughter has them now! Hell if I know what they are but they leave a scar. I know it's not bed bug bites, chigger,or flea bites! Mosquito season is not here so what the heck are they?
