If it looks like this pic which I suspect it might, you probably have scabies.

----------------------------------------------------
Scabies is a contagious (catching) disorder of the skin caused by very small, wingless insects or mites called the Human Itch mite or Scabies itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis (Hering). The female insect burrows into the skin where she lays 1 - 3 eggs daily. A very small, hard to see, zigzag blister usually marks the trail of the insect as she lays her eggs. Other more obvious symptoms are an intense itching (especially at night) and a red rash that can occur at the area that has been scratched. The most common locations for scabies are on the sides of fingers, between the fingers, on the backs of the hands, on the wrists, heels, elbows, armpits, inner thighs and around the waist (belt line). If untreated, the female will continue to lay eggs for about five weeks. The eggs hatch and the new mites begin the cycle all over again. The mites themselves are too small to be seen without magnification. One of the great problems with scabies always has been misdiagnosis. Scabies is spread by personal contact, e.g., by shaking hands or sleeping together or by close contact with infected articles such as clothing, bedding or towels. It is usually found where people are crowded together or have frequent contact, and is most common among school children, families, roommates, and sexual partners. Scabies can be spread by the insect itself or by the egg. Prompt action is required to rid a person of the insects and eggs. Sulfur has been used (6 - 10% in lotion or cream) since Roman times as a scabicide, but you might be allergic.

Do you have pets? These lumps sound like they may be flea bites. Most fleas bite around the ankles and feet as they can only jump less than 2 feet. Treat your pets and house with Frontline. You should still go to the doctor just in case as you may have caught a STD, which you should get treates ASAP.

Where were you when you were with him? In a bed that wasn't yours? Bedbugs leave similar marks. Seen the news lately? Some high class hotels are having problems. SEE A DOCTOR.
Lots of things it could be. And lose him until you find out.

They might be nothing to do with him - they sound like berry bug (harvest mite) bites, they often bite me on the legs and round the waist in the summer and are very itchy for a few days and leave scars. Go to your doctor if they persist, in case it is something more sinister.

sounds to me that maybe you have contracted measles. I don't know if it was that man or not he may have been carrying it. Whatever it is or appears to be go see the doc
