Brief Answer:
Insect bite
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query and the pictures.
Based on the pictures I feel it might be insect bites, but the pictures are not that clear, so it requires closer examination.
Presently I would suggest you to wash the affected part with cool water and mild soap like dermadew or dove. Tap it dry , you can apply calamine lotion with alovera. It produces soothing effect and hastens healing.
Hope this helps
Take care
