It to me sounds like a bad case of the scabies.

Scabies tend to start in the warm areas of the body, pubic region armpits, etc. They start out as red itchy bumps like a mosquito bite or pimple then grow into a rash and so on. They burrow into the skin and lay eggs then die. The burrowing feels like bites, the eggs hatching and the allergic reaction to their waste is the itching.

They can be passed by any physical contact, even shaking hands.

While almost microscopic they can be seen by the naked eye.

here's a few sites on them:

good luck!
