Dermatology/skin rashes

Question
I have been getting these skin lesions on for approx 2-3 weeks now. They each last about a 4 days. They start of like a pinkish bump and rapidly form into a bigger red itchy bump that once scratched turns into a mosquite bite like lesion. At first I was getting them on my arms, shoulder, hand, neck and face but now (approx 4 days ago) ive been getting them on my legs too. Weirdly, the ones on my legs turned into red bruised-like lesions (like blood shot). But only the ones on my legs. My family doctor had no idea what it was and has asked me to consult a dermatologist.
